I've been feeling really out of breath at night and I'm dealing with a chest infection and a constant cough. I'm wondering if taking the tablet Theoasthalin would help with my symptoms. Can you give me some advice on whether it's a good idea to try it?

I've been dealing with a cough for over two weeks now. I had a similar issue with a chronic cough that lasted about two months before but improved until almost two years went by. This time, I don't have any other problems like headaches, body aches, or weaknessjust the coughing. I just got my sputum test results and they show gram-positive bacilli and gram-positive cocci in pairs and chains, with occasional pus cells. What's the best way to handle this? How worried should I be?

you need to take antibiotic course for the above sputum report
