Best antibiotic for heavy cough and malarie, age is about 68 year old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cannot diagnose: And treatment is dependent upon diagnosis. A cough is only a symptomatic manifestation of a disease involving the respiratory tract. If you have malaria you really need to see an infectious diseases expert asap.
