I have had a cough for the past 10 days. I already took Cofdex syrup (2 bottles) and am currently using Broxyl AP syrup, but I am not getting relief. Do I need antibiotics or any other treatment?
A cough lasting 10 days that is not improving needs proper evaluation rather than trying more medicines on your own. Not all coughs require antibiotics, as many are due to viral infections, allergies, or airway irritation. Consult a doctor who can examine you and decide if tests or specific treatment (like inhalers, anti-allergy medicines, or antibiotics if truly needed) are required. Meanwhile, stay hydrated, take steam inhalation, and avoid dust or smoke.
