Go to hospital and seek medical help, nairaland is not a hospital.
Nigerians should normalise seeking medical help when needed.

I experienced similar thing some weeks ago

I went for test 3 times and recommended medications taken. But after a while it persisted
I took everything everyone here suggested but couldn't get healed. At times I find it very difficult to breathe. My heart beat was rapid and accompanied by chest pains. I was almost giving up but I'm totally healed today after taking

Eat raw ginger 3 times a day and take hot tea with honey. Vitamin C helps too.

Don't play ludo with your life book, I hope it's not tuberculosis and if it's, I think the treatment is free. Don't take any chance because of fear of unknown. Who knows you might be risking your Life

Go for tuberculosis test....
If it is then take ETHAMBUTOL,RIFAMPIN,ISONIAZID,PYRAZINAMIDE for three months
Please TAKE IT easy.
What informed this your decision?
You're asking someone to purchase all these and start drinking for unproductive cough!
It's obvious you do know what TB is!

It's not Vitamin E they administer to covid patients, its Vitamin D. The dosage for Vitamin C and Zinc you wrote too are wrong. Its usually more to boost your immune system to combat the virus.

Sorry dear. It could be a case of viral upper respiratory tract infection. So I don't think antibiotics will be very helpful to you. Its usually self limiting

Hi nairlanders, I need your help.

I started having cough seven days ago and I as well took some over the counter medications to sooth it (Erythromycin, Augmentin and a liquid one) . But it seems while I take the medications, the cough worsens especially at night. The cough is very dry and doesn't produce anything and it's mostly triggered by a funny sensation at the back of my throat.

I don't really experience any other symptom apart from loss of appetite.
I'm afraid of going to the hospital to avoid being kept in the isolation center for the suspicion/fear of covid.
Could this truly be Covid?
What should I do?

Mods, please my post needs a wide view.

When you have a dry cough and you come home from work hungry but they bring food and you begin to look @ the food like a pile of dry cow dung...think of TB.

Otherwise it may just be a self limiting viral laryngitis. Get tested for Sputum AFB

I've experienced this a couple of times, most times I'm told by a doctor it's usually due to an allergy. I also noticed that it gets better with antibiotics, very annoying cough.
Anyway, go and see a doctor. You may also try honey and bitter kola combo. It's quite effective.

Why antibiotics in the first place. Most coughs are not from a bacterial source. Now you have use at least 3 antibiotics in 7days

OP don't joke with this advice, when I experienced same some time ago in August, most of these were what my doctor Friend prescribed for me, and it works. Especially Vitamin C, Azithromycin and antimalarial drugs.

Unproductive cough is also known as dry cough where the patient doesn't produce sputum

While a cough is said to be productive when there's substantial sputum production
