I'm sorry to hear that you're still feeling unwell after several days. A cough and blocked nose lasting 4-5 days can be due to various causes, including viral infections like the common cold or bacterial infections. Novamox 250 is an antibiotic, which suggests your physician may have suspected a bacterial infection, and Lax is likely for symptom relief.
Since you are not improving, here are some important steps to consider:
If symptoms persist beyond 10 days or worsen, it could indicate complications like sinusitis or another infection needing targeted treatment.
Please consult your doctor or an ENT specialist promptly for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management. If you experience severe symptoms, seek emergency care immediately.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you've been dealing with a cough and blocked nose for 4-5 days and haven't improved with the prescribed medications. Could you please share your age and gender with me?
