What should I do if my severe cough and mucus have not improved and are still keeping me from sleeping after nearly two weeks, even though I am using steam, an asthalin inhaler, and have almost finished my prescription of cephalexin?
Since your symptoms haven't improved after nearly two weeks of cephalexin and your Asthalin inhaler, please contact your doctor for a follow-up. This cough might be due to a viral infection that antibiotics cannot treat, or you may need an adjusted treatment plan. In the meantime, continue staying hydrated, using steam, and propping your head up with extra pillows to ease nighttime coughing. Please get evaluated soon so you can get the restful sleep you need.
