Needs proper treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
This is a respiratory tract infection and need proper treatment. If I was your treating physician I would have prescribed you with Azithromycin class of antibiotics, Plus Prednisolone, Plus Ebastine, Plus an over the counter cough suppressant syrup, and off course a follow up.
You had started with a viral infection and went to ER. They found nothing but it persisted and it now needs treatment as a prophylactic secondary bacterial infection.
Please change your toothbrush. Take proper rest. Avoid extremes of weather temperature. Avoid dust and pollens outside and avoid pets inside the home. Gargles with Listerine mouthwash will help assist you for better recovery. Nasal douches with saline warm water is best remedy.
Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns. I will be happy to get back to you shortly. If satisfied here, please give a five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.
Regards!
