Hi I woke up with an extremely sorethrought yesterday and felt like I had mucuse sitting on my chest. My body is aching terribly, especially my head, feels like its going to explode. I also had a high tempreture. I have now woken up feeling the same but with both eyes sealed shut with sticky yellow/green goo. Is this allergies or an infection?
Hello there, I am Chat Doctor. TO rule out bacterial infection you can go for culture examination of swab taken from the throat along with differential blood count, and you should visit your physician for symptomatic treatment. If culture comes negative and blood count not favoring of bacterial infection than you need not worry. In viral infection this type of symptoms take 4-7 days to recover. I advise you to go with this investigation and take rest and healthy proteins diet along with symptomatic treatment and take visit of your physician at least once. Hope I have given appropriate guidance to you. If you have any query you can consult me anytime. Give me star rating according to your satisfactory level. Thanking you.
