Brief Answer:
Common cold

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma'am, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns.. it seems that you are starting a common cold , so you should take a cough suppressant as dextromethorphan once daily before going to bed and a mucolytic as Mucinex three times daily. Also try to drink plenty of fluids to keep the mucus from getting thick..
I would like you also to check on your glucose blood level and thyroid hormonal profile to exclude their imbalances as a cause of feeling cold.. This can be done by a blood test for fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels together with a blood test for levels of T3, T4 and TSH. I hope you find this helpful. if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion
