I've been coughing for three whole weeks now. I saw an ENT doctor, and they said my trachea is inflamed and my vocal cords aren't doing well either. My voice keeps coming and going, sometimes it's there, and then it's completely hoarse for the third week straight. They prescribed the antibiotic Cefpotec and Fencarol. I've been taking the antibiotic for five days, but I'm not feeling any better. The cough still bothers me, and my voice is raspy. 🤒 I don't have a fever, and I never did. I don't know what else to do to treat this. I feel better over the weekend, but as soon as I go to work on Monday, it all starts over because I talk non-stop at work. Will they give me sick leave without a fever?
Хотя я уже делала это и с контрастом, и без него. Сегодня у меня брюшная полость с контрастом. Сама…

It's tracheitis, it's very difficult to treat.
I've never heard of that antibiotic before. I know Sumamed helps, and also inhalations.

Elena I'm doing the inhalations, but I feel really bad after them, my head spins a lot 😨. I'd never heard of it myself when they prescribed it. This one is strong too, it's a cef.

Or maybe you have an allergy to something? 🤔 That's why the antibiotics aren't helping.

Svetlana I hadn't noticed any allergies before this. I don't think I changed anything. 🤔

Svetlana It can appear from things like dust, mold in houseplants, etc.

Svetlana Who knows. I'm taking Fencarol, but it's not getting any better. How can you even tell if it's an allergy?

Svetlana At the very least, start with antihistamines. If it helps, then that's it. Otherwise, they do blood tests for various allergens. But you don't even know what to test for, so... it's financially costly.
