Persistent cough, black phelgm with hair
Hi, I had a ear pain, throat infection and cold last September, sep 19, on consultation of a doctor started a course of antibiotics Taxim o, cheston cold, chymoral forte and Ciprofloxacin drops. It subseeded but again severe throat infection reoccured in a month and doctor prescribed Yofix- Az 250 mg (cefixime+Azithromycin) Chymoral forte 3 times a day for 7days, Syrup grylinctus for wet cough and betadine gargling, the throat infection subsided in about 15 days. Since, I periodically cough out black phelgm, usually in the morning , sometimes the phelgm holds a tiny hair in it and slight breathlessness feeling. Hot water with honey and turmeric, or apple cider vinegar, usually alleviates the feeling This has me worried, but since the lockdown and corona started, I am not able to visit a doctor in person as well for this
