I had a fever, cough, and cold 10 days ago, treated with antibiotics, but I still have a cough and minor cold. I'm now taking Piriton CS syrup. Should I start any antibiotics, or is it fine to continue with Piriton?
After a viral fever or cold, cough and mild cold symptoms can last 2 to 3 weeks, even after antibiotics. It is fine to continue Piriton CS syrup for symptom relief, along with fluids and rest. See a doctor if the cough worsens, lasts beyond 3 weeks, or if fever or breathing difficulty returns.
