I've been experiencing cough, mild fever, and body pain for 8 days. I can't sleep at night, and during the day, it feels okay but I still have body pain. I consulted a doctor, who prescribed Cepodem XP 325, lecodropropizine syrup, and Dolo, but I haven't noticed much difference after 2 days.

Have a query?

It can be frustrating when symptoms like cough, mild fever, and body pain persist despite starting medication. Cepodem XP 325 is an antibiotic that targets bacterial infections, lecodropropizine syrup helps suppress cough, and Dolo reduces pain and fever. These medicines often take a few days to show clear effects, so not seeing much change after just 2 days is not unusual.
Since your symptoms have lasted 8 days and sleep is affected, it’s important to follow up with your doctor for reassessment. They may need to adjust your treatment or investigate other causes. Meanwhile, ensure you get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and avoid irritants like smoke. If you develop worsening symptoms such as high fever, difficulty breathing, or severe pain, seek urgent medical care.
