question: Hi doctor,I am suffering from cough, irritation in throat and mild pain. I feel feverish, but do not have a real fever. Temperature variation is a problem where I live and I travel around 50 km daily by bus. I am also a smoker. During season change, I usually get into this trouble at least twice a year. Earlier, I have been prescribed to take Azithromycin, Levocet and Paracetamol 650. Should I follow the same prescription? I cannot afford to be resting for a few days. I teach at a college and we have examinations going on. A cough is not severe but would be good to have some relief. Is there any cough candy? I am already making some plans to quit smoking. Apart from quitting smoking, what lifestyle changes or long-term medication I can use to avoid these troubles?
