Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Cough

Question: I have a sore throt with a very raspy voice (think XXXXXXX white on a bad day), barking cough without mucus production, and a running nose. The mucus when I blow is starting to become yellow. Yesterday, I noticed that my chest, in my bronchial region, started to burn when I started to take a breath. Should I see a doctor or is it just a cold?
Brief Answer:
You should see a doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hello
From the symptoms which you have described it looks like that you may be developing a chest infection and may need antibiotics for the same.
It does not seem be just a cold and the infection seems to have spread to your chest. please dont worry as this can be managed with antibiotics.
In the meantime i would like you to take voice rest and not to speak loudly or for a longer time.
I would also like you to start steam inhalation 2-3 times a day. This will help reduce the chest congestion and infection.
Please meet your doctor for confirming this and the prescription.
Take care!
