Please don’t self medicate if not recovering. Take doctors opinion. Half dose of antibiotic will not be helpful

Inorder to start antibiotic we usually suggest you to do blood routine examination and if the blood investigation shows increased/ abnormal wbc count it indicates that you have infection. Then only we suggest you to start antibiotics(azythromicine). .
Next Steps
You can continue levocet for 2 weeks and benedryl syrup is good for dry cough.
Health Tips
drink frequent sips of hot water.
