Patient's question:
Which is better, Cefadroxil capsules or Erythromycin ethylsuccinate tablets for cough? Or should I take both together? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None. What kind of help do you expect: We have both Cefadroxil capsules and Erythromycin ethylsuccinate tablets at home, as well as Amoxicillin. Which one is better to take?Doctor's answer:
Cough is a protective respiratory reflex action that helps the body completely clear secretions or foreign substances from the respiratory tract. Upper respiratory tract infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, acute laryngitis, and other conditions can all cause coughing. It is recommended that you promptly visit a hospital for a thorough examination to determine the cause of the cough, as it is absolutely essential not to take medication blindly. It is crucial to correctly distinguish between ordinary cough and cough-variant asthma to avoid misdiagnosis. Treatment for cough should involve identifying the type of cough, and both Western and traditional Chinese medicine can be used. Additionally, under the guidance of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, dietary therapy can be tested, such as white fungus chicken porridge, sand root lily bulb duck soup, and apricot kernel pig lung porridge, among others.
