Cough & Cold Treatment in Johor Bahru

Batuk & Selsema

Cough and cold (upper respiratory tract infections) are the most frequent illnesses in tropical climates like Malaysia. While usually viral and self-limiting, persistent coughs lasting more than 2 weeks may indicate secondary bacterial infection, asthma, or other conditions requiring medical attention.

Symptoms of Cough & Cold

Persistent dry or productive cough
Nasal congestion and runny nose
Sneezing and watery eyes
Mild sore throat
Post-nasal drip
Low-grade fever

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

Visit a doctor if your cough persists beyond 2 weeks, produces green or bloody sputum, is accompanied by shortness of breath, high fever, or significant chest pain. Whooping-like coughs in children need immediate attention.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

Our doctors at Klinik Muhibbah will examine your chest, throat, and if needed order a chest X-Ray to rule out pneumonia. Treatment includes targeted cough suppressants or expectorants, decongestants, and antibiotics only when bacterial infection is confirmed.
