I've tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday but having dry cough since two days at regular intervals. Is it a cause of worry? Should I get hospitalised?
For only this symptom no hospitalization is needed only in the name of being covid positive.
- You can take symptomatic treatment in home
- Keep yourself isolated in home so as to keep safe other family members, as there symptoms (on being covid positive) may vary as per their immunity and some other factors
- For Dry cough:
Take these medicines for 5 days
1) Syp. Dextromethorphan 10ml BD
2) Tab Amoxicillin 500mg BD
3) Tab Pantop 40 1OD
- For better immunity and capability of fighting against infection:
4) Tab Limcee 1OD
5) Tab Zinconia 1OD
