Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had a cold, sore throat, chills, and was speechless. Then, for the past two days, it seems to have worsened into a severe cold, with high fever at night. Yesterday, I started experiencing severe symptoms, including coughing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and thick, yellow phlegm. My throat doesn’t itch, but my trachea feels uncomfortable. When I breathe, I can hear a sound in my trachea, like a windbox. I cough out thick yellow phlegm. It’s crucial to cough out the phlegm in my trachea every time, otherwise, I’ll keep coughing. It’s been about two or three days of coughing. Can I take Cefadroxil capsules and Phenylephrine tablets?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on your description, it is speculated that your condition is likely caused by a bacterial infection and inflammation of the trachea and urethra following a cold. In this case, taking Cefadroxil capsules is acceptable, but taking Phenylephrine and Caffeine has no significant effect. It is recommended to take Cefadroxil capsules, Yan Ke Ning capsules, and Ambroxol capsules for treatment. Drink plenty of water, get plenty of rest, eat a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
