It is completely natural to want reassurance when treatment plans change. The signs of infection in your blood and urine suggest you need stronger, targeted treatment, which is why your doctor recommended daily IV drips. If you feel comfortable with your current doctor, starting this treatment promptly is important to help you heal. However, if you feel hesitant, seeking a second opinion at a larger hospital is a very safe and reasonable step to ensure you get comprehensive care.

A persistent mild cough, clogged throat, and morning metallic taste are often linked to 'silent reflux' (LPR), where stomach acid travels up to your throat while you sleep. Post-nasal drip from mild allergies is another common culprit. Since your symptoms have persisted despite taking Ascoril and ginger, it would be a good idea to consult a doctor. They can check for reflux or allergies to guide the right treatment. Try elevating your head slightly at night and avoiding late meals.

The medications you mentioned?Wikoryl, Ascoril, Betadine gargle, and nose drops?can provide temporary relief for your cold, cough, and congestion. However, because of your crooked nasal passage, ear pain, and the sharp tingling sensation in your head, I highly recommend consulting an ENT specialist. These symptoms need a professional evaluation to find the root cause, especially the tingling. Please limit the use of decongestant nose drops to 3-5 days to prevent worsening congestion.

A breathing rate of 46 breaths per minute in a three-year-old is fast, indicating his lungs are working harder than usual. Because of this, it is very important that you have him evaluated by a doctor immediately. Please do not give him Ascoril or Azithral (azithromycin) without a professional assessment, as these medications should only be used under direct medical supervision.

Ascoril+ can help clear mucus as it contains an expectorant and bronchodilator, but it is best suited if you also have chest congestion or a wet cough. For your sore, irritated throat, simple remedies are often most comforting. Try gargling with warm salt water, staying well-hydrated, and using soothing throat lozenges. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can also ease the soreness. Please consult a healthcare professional before starting Ascoril+ to ensure it is appropriate for your specific symptoms.

Ascoril+ contains active ingredients like guaifenesin and terbutaline, which help loosen white mucus and ease breathing, making it a reasonable temporary option for your wet cough. However, since your cough has lasted for 15 days, it is very important to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation. A long-lasting cough might be triggered by allergies, which may require specific antihistamines, or an infection. In the meantime, please try wearing a protective mask during your commute, stay well-hydrated with warm fluids, and use steam inhalation to soothe your airways.
