[QUOTE="DDD, post: 268319, member: 35"] I've been so healthy that I feel out of the loop with standard care for a mega cold bug. The MD put me on the top dosage of an antibiotic and eyedrops for the conjunctivitis. The sinus's are still full and I'm still coughing (primarily, I'm sure, from the post nasal drip). My question is simple. Are the antibiotics suppose to take care of the coughing? There was no mention of using a cough syrup or expectorant. Since I am up at 1:30 again due to the hacky little cough I'm wondering why. :winking: Yes, I do have an RN daughter out of state but the question sounds too stupid to call her......LOL. I'm assuming the chest xrays at the hospital didn't show pneumonia as I got no call. on the other hand, maybe they wouldn't call since I'm already of big medications. Geez, I am NOT a good patient. Like Loth I just want it over! DDD [/QUOTE]
