Question 3

I have a severe wet cough and a runny nose. What should I do?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

A severe wet cough with a runny nose is often due to a viral infection and usually improves with rest, fluids, and steam inhalation. If symptoms worsen, fever develops, or breathing becomes difficult, you should consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.

Question 4

My child has an adenoid problem. The doctor prescribed Augmentin and Allegra, but there's been no improvement after 2 months. What is the best medicine to try?

Dr G Reddy · Accepted Answer

If your child's adenoid problem has not improved after 2 months of Augmentin and Allegra, it may mean that medicines alone are not enough. Persistent symptoms often require re-evaluation by an ENT doctor, who may suggest other treatments like nasal steroid sprays, saline irrigation, or, in some cases, adenoid removal surgery. Continuing antibiotics without improvement is usually not recommended, so a doctor's review is important before trying any new medicine.

Question 5

Which medicine should I take for itching and rashes?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

Itching and rashes can be managed with antihistamine tablets to reduce allergic reactions and topical creams or ointments to soothe inflammation and irritation. It is important to consult a doctor, as the cause, such as an allergy, infection, or skin condition, needs to be identified for the safest and most effective treatment.

Question 6

My mother had a fever and was diagnosed with typhoid. She now has body itching that is affecting her sleep. Should we change her medication or follow a different course?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

Itching after typhoid treatment may occur due to the infection itself or to the medicines. You should consult her doctor before changing any medication, so they can review her treatment, check for side effects, and suggest ways to relieve itching safely.

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

After chickenpox, itching can persist as the skin heals and new skin forms. You can keep the skin moisturised, avoid scratching, and use gentle soaps, but if itching is severe or accompanied by new rashes, consult a doctor for proper evaluation.

Red rashes and itching that appear after a fever and body pain may indicate an infection, an allergic reaction, or a viral illness. You should consult a doctor immediately for proper evaluation and treatment to prevent complications.
