What's the best cough medicine for 60+ adults?

Hy please tell me a good cough medicine for 60 plus onwards

Dr. Kanchan  Jain

General Physician

Answered on 23rd Dec '24

Coughing can be caused by different factors in older adults, such as allergies, infections, or underlying health issues. Medications, including dextromethorphan or guaifenesin, that can be bought over-the-counter, can be prescribed to alleviate the discomfort. Nonetheless, it's essential to pay close attention to the existing medical conditions and medications a patient may be taking. Also, exceptionally, one can breathe in steam from a boiling pot or shower as well as drink more water or use a humidifier to ease stinging. If your breathing problem does not disappear in a short time or gets worse, seek professional medical help for personalized advice and assessment.

My height is 170 cm and i want to increase it to 180 cm my parents are tall but unfortunatly i am not so i want to increase it please tell me how much it would cost and how much time also please mention the risk as well

Male | 23

You should see an endocrinologist who may identify why your growth plates stop or measure your hormone levels. It is not a fact that you can increase height by shortcuts such as limb-lengthening surgery and that surgery itself carries big risks. The cost for such procedures varies greatly and is rarely covered by medical insurance.

Good Morning I am a male, 29years from Southwest Nigeria, I have some illness I have been noticed for a while and i need advice. I always love football before but for a while I leave that activity due to academic pursuit but anytime I tried it now I get tired easily as if I will faint and slump. And moreover I get cold easily and which doesn't allow me to breathe deep as I should, but I noticed that anytime I take hot water or use hot water to bath I felt relieved but I don't think I should be using hot water for the rest so I am seeking a proper consultation

Male | 29

Anemia occurs when your body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen, leading to fatigue, cold sensitivity, weakness, and shortness of breath. While hot water may temporarily improve circulation, it's not a long-term solution. I recommend seeing a doctor for a blood test to check your red blood cell levels. Anemia can be caused by factors like iron deficiency or illness, and treatment may involve dietary changes, iron supplements, or other medications, depending on the cause. Getting proper medical care is essential to address your symptoms.

Mu name is Rosette i am 26( female) i have a health issue that i never found a solution about. I have huge pain on the left rib side and it came by itself, i did all the exams, check up in different clinics in my country but all the result are Always negative. The pain come and go as it wishes and it's been 3 years. When it Comes back it's as if its something that IS growing because the pain become worse and now it's affecting the stomach too

Female | 26

You've expressed the pain caused by your right rib over the past few days that does not subside and increase over time. Like stomach ulcers and pancreatitis, sometimes painful radiations to the rib region can be caused by any pain disorder. This pain management approach, including heat pads or a class of pain reliever medications, might help. Remember that how you feel is important, and persistent pain must never be ignored. This is a chronic condition, and ongoing stress could be your big issue. Overcoming persistent pain is one of the goals of alternative healing practices, like yoga.

Last night a bat flew over my back and I am afraid it might have bitten me. I didn't feel the bite, but now I feel pain in my left shoulder and nausea. Given the potential risk of rabies, I would like to ask if I should seek medical attention immediately?

Male | 17

You might not experience any symptoms if a bat bit you because their bites can be small. If you feel pain and nausea afterward, especially in your left shoulder, it could be a sign of rabies. Rabies is a serious brain virus that commonly occurs through animal bites. Hence, it is necessary to seek medical help without delay. Rabies may be prevented if treated early, hence, it is better not to take risks.

Does sudocrem help fix an ignoring toenail

Female | 15

Yes, Sudocrem is good for reducing itchiness around the area of an ingrown toenail, but it is not a cure for the cause of the injury. A podiatrist, a health professional dedicated to foot care, becomes essential in the arrival of proper diagnosis and treatment of ingrown toenails.

Male | 36

If a rat bites you, watch out for further developments regarding your muscular dystrophy. If the signs of inflammation of your hand appear such as redness, swelling, warmth, or pus you may require antibiotics which will need to be prescribed by a doctor. Act fast, to avoid complications. Do not be afraid to contact your doctor for any additional instructions.

These symptoms may show signs of diseases associated with the eyes. It is important to see an ophthalmologist in order to assess the underlying cause. The specialist will probably suggest imaging tests, eye exams or other diagnostics procedures to detect the problem and establish a treatment strategy.

Female | 17

Some changes to your body ne­ed attention. Losing weight rapidly, without e­ffort, isn't normal. It might result from thyroid issues, diabete­s, or even stress. Tire­dness, dizziness, freque­nt hunger - these symptoms re­quire caution. To ensure safe­ty, it's wise to consult a healthcare provide­r and determine the­ underlying cause.

Iam 41 years old I have fever last 5days. Am using dolo 650 tab but not to reduce fever

Male | 41

A fever that lasts for five days despite taking Dolo 650 tablets is concerning. Fevers can be caused by infections, so it’s important to figure out the root cause. Other symptoms like cough, sore throat, or body aches could provide more clues. I advise you to see a doctor for an accurate evaluation and treatment. Stay hydrated and get plenty of rest in the meantime.

Though Naegleria fowleri is a severe brain infection, the chances of your headache and fever being caused by it are minimal. But you still need to see a specialist in infectious diseases to find out the cause of your symptoms and prescribe adequate treatment.
