I started out with what felt like allergies with sneezing, sore throat, runny nose, ithcy eyes and irritated sinuses, but the next day was fever, intense body aches, fainting, could not breathe through my nose dark green and brown sputum. The next day was absolutely no ability to breathe through my nose, fever, sinus pain and swelling in the face, and the next day was loss of voice, mild cough, and every day after that has been no voice and coughing all day and coughing up bright green sputum. I dont know what I have or how I got it.
Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is likely that you have an upper respiratory tract infection which can involve the ears, nasal passages, sinuses, throat. In most cases it is viral, but bacterial infections can also occur. The pain and swelling in the face imply that the sinuses are infected. You can consider using antihistamines and decongestants which would relieve the nasal congestion and swelling in the face. Decongestants can be oral or topically applied. Since you are having a productive cough, you may want to consider using a bucolic which would help to break up the mucus in the chest. The use of copious fluids would help decrease the viscosity of secretions. I hope this helps
