Cough LUNG Expectorat

Anyone had any experience of using cough expectorant wile taking amoxicillin.

Needless to say am back at doctors as flu 🤧 is not budging and chest is still upper congested.

I feel dog 🐶 ruff with spells of hot cold AND like going to pass out.

Have checked my sat’s bp heart rate and relatively normal blood oxygen 93+

It sounds as if you have what I had JAS. I would ask your pharmacy or surgery if the two can be taken together.

Feel better soon. Xxx 👍

Did ask about my anti fugal but to be honest forgot as was not to WELL was to I’ll to wait around.

Can be ok one min then I’ll

Next ITs like wave sweeping over you.

Last time seen doctor he said flu as to run its curse LIKE I don’t have chronic lung disease.

Box said could have side effect if take paracetamol.

[sassy59 in reply to Hidden]

Don’t take it then. I know that Pete couldn’t take it.

Unfortunately flu will have to run it’s course so keep fluids up and rest as much as possible. I feel for you. Xxxx

[Hidden in reply to sassy59]

I wish had never started taking it .. think not having no more JUST stick to me amoxicillin.

Having to sleep sat up is pits Don’t want other weekend like my last

One time my pharmacist recommended ivy leaf expectorant, I got pastilles but I think you can also get a cough syrup. It’s a natural product so shouldn’t be a problem with other medications though maybe you ought to check first. I hope you start feeling better soon.

Hi hungryhuff cheers thanks YOU would not believe so much crap could happen from one poxy little virus.

[Hacienda]

I did, Never again, I overdosed on cheap of the shelf cough medicines for my continuous 24 hour cough, ended up going to Hospital as it caused a Bowel problem , as soon as I stopped Medicine, the Bowel went back to normal, Antibiotics cleared the Cough, it was a Nightmare having that particular "Cough" Will only take medicine on recommendation from Doctor.

[Hidden in reply to Hacienda]

Hi Hacienda no what you mean about cough medicine AM sure I have too.

So been extra cautious ... it’s too easy done really

Was told by a pharmacist years ago that cough medicine does not work ,😟

[Hidden in reply to Piperava]

That’s my conclusion too it’s not even thined it.

I was like that earlier in the year! I thought I would cough one of my vital organs up!! I was on Amoxycillin as well. What gave me my first decent sleep was Boots Glycerin, Honey and Lemon linctus. Babies over one years old.and pregnant women can have this ( a good sign for me!} It means it isn't heavily medicated, it just coats the throat and soothes it.I always have some in now. ( I have pulmonary fibrosis)

[Hidden in reply to Aingeful]

Hi Aingeful few people have said that about lemon honey even touch of whiskey.

To be honest my mums been on lemons 🍋 and she been ok

Might give it a try as my faith in medical is evaporating

I would have had to wait 2 weeks for an appointment to find this out.i am on high risk but the receptionist s still give every available appointment to our new immigrant friends ??????????

[peter06 in reply to Volvo1951]

Just tell them by the time that appointment arrives, you will be dead, generally wakes them up

[Hidden in reply to Volvo1951]

everthing is underfunded over stretched YET it’s sick disabled at front line.

You watch 24 hours in AE and things people go Hospital for .. last time I was in doctors hospital was full of polish ANYONE would think the had no nhs.

My dad’s dad and he’s thought for what we have over here perhaps others should do same in there home lands.

Sorry to hear you still have a virus/ infection running wild. Ive got symptoms like a cold myself must be those winter bugs as I have had my flu injection. So far controlled with cold remedies, hope you start to feel better soon.

[Hidden in reply to katieoxo60]

Hi Katie glad ya ok of sorts .. I was to have mine but Flu

Got there first.

[katieoxo60 in reply to Hidden]

Seems lots are getting flu before the injection is available this year. Hope you are beginning to feel better, my physio is being changed in a fortnights time apparently it takes around six months to get the strength back after a broken bone and they think there will be some pain left due to nature of injury and personal health history. Hey ho more for the insurance to hold against me .Its wet here today so time to stay in and have a lazy day. Take care speak to you again soon.

[Joy123]

I’ve always been advised not to take any over the counter cough medicines. We cough for a reason, to clear gunk, so to suppress the cough isn’t a good idea. That’s what gp/hospital have told me. Joy.

Hope you start to feel better soon, JAS.

This is the stuff I got,its purpose is just to make your throat etc more comfortable and less sensitive. Its not a powerful expectorant or anything like that.I use it for soothing purposes!
