<human>: My husband was put on Tussionex for cough and Augmentin on Last Tues. morn. It has been 5 days and he is no better. He had been sick for several days already when he saw doc on Tues. X ray also taken,but have heard no word.He is still coughing incessantly . I am almost over what he gave to me last week end but he seems to be the same. He is 73 years old,but in good health and works every day in a health care facility. Should he ride this out until Mon when he can see his doc again or go to the Emergency room?
<bot>: Hello rearward welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly.* This seems in relation with bronchitis underlying.* In my opinion no need to rush to ER, continue current medications, along with which certain guidelines for better recovery-Gargles with salted lukewarm water added peppermint oil 3 times a day-Regular walking in fresh air, deep breathing exercises, YOGA to improve lung oxygenation.- Avoid smoking if doing.- Prefer semi reclining position when resting. Hope this will help you for sure. Welcome for further guidance. Regards.
