I have been dealing with runny nose, cough, cough up yellow phlegm, low grade temp (99 oral), felling faint, head ache for 3 weeks. I use aspirin or Ibuprofen for muscle aches, sleep, currently allergy medication which helps some for the funny nose. I cannot drink anything cold or I have such a bad coughing spell, I pee myself. I drink a lot of room temp water. Eating chicken soup. Halls cough drops. My symptoms seem to get worst at night, at least my coughing.
Hello. Thank you for asking to Chat Doctor. Apart from nasal symptoms, yellow phlegm, temperature, feeling faint, headache since 3 weeks - I would consider sinusitis as 1st possibility here. I feel only analgesics & allergy medications may not help. I would suggest you at least 2 weeks of antibiotics, daily steam inhalation, rest & plenty of warm fluids. If you don't feel improvement, I would suggest you to consult an ENT surgeon who may advise you X-ray of sinus & blood investigations. Hope this will help you. Wish you faster recovery. Regards.
