I've been dealing with a dry cough for a few days now and have been taking Benadryl dry cough syrup, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could you recommend any tablets that might work better?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's diabetic and has been dealing with this cold and fever for a while now. Her body temperature is pretty high, and she's feeling very weak, which is so unlike her since she used to be really active. There's no coughing involved, but I'm not sure which medicine would be best for her in this situation. Any advice?

Fever in a diabetic will subside only if blood sugar is under control. Paracetamol and cetrizine for fever and a course of antibiotic since we cant take a risk in a diabetic elderly.. will worsen quickly.. better consult and start treatment.
