<human>: my wife has got her tonsillitis operated since last 6 years and from last 1 year she is getting colds and coughs and it is more effective when she lies to sleep. Secondly I have consulted doctors and have taken Xray of her chest and tested her spits and both the reports showed negative results for TB
<bot>: Hello, Welcome to ChatDoctorI understand your concerns. Your wife may be suffering from lower respiratory tract infection which might be of viral origin. I would advise her to take higher antibiotics like 4th generation cephalosporins along with antihistamines like tablet. Cetrizine. Also take syrup. Bricarex for cough 3 times daily. Although antibiotics won't be of much help in viral infections, it will help in preventing the secondary bacterial infections. Hope I have answered your query. Thank you
