Hi, I have today woken with a soar throat, cough and a runny nose. I have also been suffering from a heavy chest feeling for a while. Initially i thought it was the dust in my house as we are building an extention but now think it maybe illness? any adice?
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is possible that you may have an upper respiratory tract infection (common cold). These are usually viral. This presents with the symptoms that you are describing. You can consider the use of a decongestant and anti histamine to help to relieve the symptoms. If the coughing is severe then a cough suppressant would be needed. These medications would be available over the counter. I hope this helps
