Short Breath, Dry cough and Acidity
Since last 14 days I have breathless ness and dry cough in chest, even during that time had acidity. Cant breathe freely through nose like blocking, breath lasts in chest diaphragm it won't continue. Consulted doctor 3 times, prescribed cough syrup, acid reflux tablets to clear air vessels and acidity tablets. Not recovered yet, slight improvement in nose breathing, rest problems same, cough is not coming out after 3 bottles of syrup.
RTPCR is negative, oxygen level is around 97, Respiration rate is 15-16.
What is suggestion? Can I continue same prescription as doctor mentioned it will take another 15 days to recover!
Note:I have even slip disc L4-L5
