Do antibiotics help with an upper resp. type cough/infection?
Question:
Answer:
For the nasal congestion, antibiotics are probably not necessary if you have clear mucus and a low grade temperature it is most likely viral infection. If you have a high temperature and colored mucus, it is likely bacterial and it would be good to get antibiotics. Keep in mind that if you are viral, all the mucus in your nasal cavity is a great breeding ground for bacteria, so you could eventually get a secondary bacterial infection in your sinuses.
A deep cough usually does not accompany nasal congestion, this is likely a separate issue. If you frequently get bronchial infections, yes go see a doctor and get checked out. If you are a smoker or have been around smoke your body might be more sensitive to your lung health while trying to fight of the nasal congestion. If you are coughing up colored mucus, go see a doctor. If the cough is dry, use some lozenges and try not to cough ... I know that sounds difficult, but continuing to cough will just cause more irritation and make you want to cough more.
Another possibility for cause of the cough is drainage from your sinus cavity down the back of your throat, which can cause a tickle and make you cough. If that is it, again, try not to cough, get a decongestant and try to get rid of the congestion in your nose by blowing it out.
