You may take a cough syrup with an expectorant, such as ambroxol or guaifenesin. You can also use simple linctus or honey and lemon in warm water, or try steam inhalation to soothe your throat and help loosen phlegm. Continue taking paracetamol for fever if needed. If symptoms persist beyond a few days or worsen, please consult your doctor for further evaluation.

A persistent cough with phlegm and mild fever can be managed with supportive care and specific medications to ease symptoms and soothe your throat.

🩺 Symptom Management Basics

  • Stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids like warm water, herbal teas, or broths.
  • Rest adequately to help your body fight the infection.

💊 Medications for Cough with Phlegm

  • Ambrosol Syrup (a mucolytic) can help loosen mucus and make coughing more productive. It requires a prescription, so consult your doctor before use.
  • Avoid cough suppressants as they may worsen mucus retention in productive coughs.

🏥 Throat Relief Options

  • Natural remedies like honey and lemon can soothe throat irritation and reduce coughing.
  • Throat lozenges or sprays with mild anesthetic or antiseptic properties may provide quick relief.

🩺 Fever Management

  • Since you have already taken paracetamol (PARACETAMOL-650MG), continue to use it as directed for fever and pain relief, but do not exceed the recommended dose.

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

  • If fever persists beyond 3 days or worsens.
  • If you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe throat pain.
  • If cough worsens or produces blood.

Please consult a general physician or a pulmonologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate prescription.
