I feel like there is something cold in my lungs and in my throat. I have had a cough for 2 weeks that has produced a small amount of mucus. No other symptoms.The doctor gave me z-pac last Saturday, which hasnt helped. I went to the pharmacy yesterday and got a bottle of cough syrup with codine and expectorant.
Thanks for asking your question I completely understand your question no need of codeine it will retain the sputum and as a side effect it can cause constipation. Have a cough expectorant like a syrup containing guaphenesin and aerosol. And along with that you need a broad spectrum antibiotic like lifetime you need to get a chest X-ray done to rule out tuberculosis or any infective lower resp tract infection. You need to consult a pulmonologist to rule out the above-mentioned diseases and to start the above-mentioned treatment thanks / regards feel free to ask more questions may god bless you with good health
