I accidentally breathed in some dust on our carpet, then the next day I started shivering, had a temperature and had a dry, infrequent, unproductive cough. I have the worst headache I have ever had. It hurts when I cough and my head feels sore and sensitive when I lightly rub over it with my hand. It feels like flu symptoms but with only a tiny amount of phlegm. Ive been taking paracetamol for 3 days straight and my symptoms are not improving. Please help
Hello to dust inhalation, you developed all these symptoms due to bronchoconstriction. Allergy also produced sore throat. Simple paracetamol only provide relief in fever and pain. When patient with such symptoms visit I prescribe them to take montelukast+levoceterizine one tablet once in day for 2- 3 days. Destromethophan lines for local throat infection (chew this one or twice in a day). Since this is acute episode, so also take deflazacort 30 mg (only one tablet at a time, not more than this). Take levofloxacin750 mg one tablet for 2-3 days. Since all these are prescription medicine so consult your physician. Hope this will help you.
