Cold and cough

2018-04-09 10:38:51
I've had cold and cough for 3 days now. Cold has almost gone but coughing is there with constant wheezing sound and vibrations in chest, I am a little breathless too and have difficulty sleeping. I've had bronchitis before and feel exactly the same. What medicine should I take ?

You seem to be suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat and airway infection. You may need to take expectorant cough syrups which also contains bronchodialator. Nebulization is also beneficial.
Next Steps
Consult nearby physician for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
