I've had this really stubborn cough for about 8 months now and it's sometimes so bad that I end up vomiting. I went to see a doctor and got tested for TB, but that came back negative. My X-ray did show some lower lobe subsegmental pulmonary consolidation. I was on medication for a while, and the cough got better, but as soon as I stopped, it came back. I saw another doctor who suggested it might be a gastric issue and told me to avoid spicy foods and fizzy drinks. But the cough is still here, and it's worse at night, sometimes leading to vomiting. I have to admit, Im still eating spicy foods occasionally, and I'm wondering if that's making it worse. What should I do next?

View allI'm really concerned because for the past few years, out of nowhere, I start choking on nothing and end up in a coughing fit that usually makes me gag until I'm sick. This happens every few days. Any idea what could be causing this? It's really starting to worry me.

When it comes to treating throat infections like Dry Cough, both Clavem 625 mg and Gudcef 200 are effective antibiotics. However, they have some differences. *Clavem 625 mg* contains Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid, which work together to combat bacterial infections . It's often prescribed for respiratory tract infections, including throat infections. *Gudcef 200*, on the other hand, contains Cefpodoxime and Clavulanic acid. This combination is also effective against bacterial infections, including those that cause throat infections . In terms of effectiveness, both medications have similar action mechanisms and are used to treat similar infections. However, your doctor will decide which one to prescribe based on the underlying disease and other parameters . So, it's not necessarily about which one is more effective, but rather which one your doctor thinks is best suited for your specific condition. Always consult your doctor for personalized advice!

I've been dealing with acid reflux for the past couple of years and recently got an endoscopy that showed I have an H. pylori infection. I've been on the Nexpro HP kit but still haven't found any relief. Could you suggest what I might try next or what else might be going on?
Since you have been diagnosed with H. pylori infection and have been taking Nexpro HP kit without relief, I would recommend a different treatment approach. You can try a combination therapy with antibiotics such as Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin along with a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole. This combination therapy is often effective in eradicating H. pylori infection and relieving symptoms of acid reflux.
