Answers:
The codeine should help you sleep as well as help quite your cough, however, sometimes drugs just do not help enough. Once the antibiotics start working your will eventually get better each day. The zpack is an antibiotic that you only take like 5 pills and it continues to work in your body for a week or more after you finish. My son has the same thing right now and no cough and cold meds are helping very well. You can try using a Humidifier to help with the coughing, Vick's vapor rub on your chest and I know this is going to sound crazy but put some on your feet and put socks on. There is something on the bottom of your feet that connects to your head and sinuses cavities. After about 3 days on your antibiotic you should start to feel better. Avoid drinking milk if you are congested and coughing because it will produce more phlem for you to cough up. Try some musinex that has worked wonders when I had bronchitis. also Therefor makes a hot drink that helps soothe sore throats and quites cough. That worked better for me than the meds I received from my dr. You should be able to take the rx syrup and the other 2 meds I mentioned above. I hope you start feeling better.Health Question & Answer
