Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had a cold, sore throat, chills, and was unable to speak. Then, over the past two days, it seems to have worsened into a severe cold, with high fever at night. Yesterday, I started taking medication, but I still have a cough, 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. This cough has lasted for about two or three days. 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 Cephalexin capsules is acceptable, but taking Phenylephrine and Caffeine has no significant effect. It is recommended to take Cephalexin capsules, Yanke 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.
