I have weak muscles, and body just aches. I am freezing although I have a heating pad and lots of blankets. The cough I have has gotten worse and more frequent in the last 24 hours. I picked up some Theraflu severe cough and cold, would there be other things I can do besides the norm of lots of rest, and liquids?  About how long can I expect to feel this way?
HI, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I read your query and I appreciate your concern regarding this issue. If I will be your treating doctor I would advise you to- Take Defense Chat Doctor. - I would start you on amoxicillin/clavulanic acid 625\u00a0mg thrice a day for 7 days. (It is a prescription medicine, so you need to visit the nearest doctor to get it)- Take acetaminophen for pain & fever-Take hot water in a cup, add 1 tablespoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect.- Take boiling water in a pot, put your head over the steam and cover whole with a sheet. Take deep breaths in it.(Avoid getting closer else it might cause burn). Do this twice a day.AVOID
