Hi,
My boyfriend has started with a very dry and persistent cough yesterday. The days before he had a sore throat. He did his PTF yesterdays and they had go down to 88 from 94 last month. He was started on amoxyclavulanic to treat and s. aureus that is what he usually cultures. His last culture was taken 3 days ago and we are waiting for the results, so far only s. aureus but they told us to call back tomorrow that will be when they have the antibiogram and be sure he doesn´t grow anything else.
My question is he started amoxyclavulanic yesterday morning and so far his cough has gotten worst. His sputum is white. could it be a viral thing, or maybe it´s not enough time with the antibiotic? How long does it take for you to get over a cold???
Thank you for the answers
