I have been coughing for weeks not (5-6), and I also during this time have itchy skin (mostly legs), which is unusual since I have never had any skin problems before. I went to the doctors who took a sample of my mucus, said it might be a yeast infection. But went on to say he thinks its just a virus and prescribe strong cough medicine. Two days after taking the cough medicine I got fever and am now sick.. I am confused on what I have and would like some advice on what you think it might be.
Hi, I have gone through your query and understand your concern. I would like to suggest you some tests like complete blood counts, complete urinalysis, sputum examination especially for AFB, sputum culture, blood culture and chest x-ray, to make a diagnosis. Treatment plan can only be decided after that. I will suggest you to take good nutritious diet, plenty of oral liquids, antipyretic, ant histamines, cough syrup containing aerosol, and nebulization with albuterol. Once all your reports comes then after confirmation of diagnosis antibiotics / antifungals / antivirals can be started. Revert me back if you have anything to ask. Wish you a good health. Thanks & Regards
