Could You Please Help Few Days Back I Had Cough And Slight Fever Along ?
Question: Few days back I had cough and slight fever along with nasal congestion. After few days cough and fever subsided but I have started feeling sinus related complication. I am suffering heaviness of head with nasal blockage throughout the day. Taking stream inhalation alleviates the problem for only a short period of time and it comes back and remain there. Though I do not have any fever but headache and irritation in the nasal passage exists and I will also feel slight feverish ( no high temperature > 97 recorded though in the thermometer ) in the evening. Could you please help?
