I'm having cough from 2 weeks. I went to a doctor who told me to take cefixime 200 mg for 5 days twice a day. I did as I was told but no improvement. I'm still feeling kinda heavy chest and cough. What should I do now?

Dear Lybrate user, a cough with heavy chest, usually means infection of lower respiratory tract. Kindly get your CBC ESR & Chest Xray done and contact on Lybrate Consultation Platform for better understanding your problem and treatment advice. Meanwhile please avoid sudden temperature changes, pollution & smog. Steam inhalation may help you to relieve congestion. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
