What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of An Upper Respiratory Tract Infection?
Question: Hi,
Since past 2 days I had thorns kind of feeling inside my throat. Now its paining and when ima coughing its paining very badly. Its at the base of my neck in front where collar bone starts. Even if Iam not speaking i can feel something happening inside my throat. I have cold as well and have headache. I took Taxim 200 last night. But, I felt I should consult.
Can you please help? I had problems of allergies inside my throat on which some throat paint was applied by ENT. Iam 37 year old and hypothyroid. I take 100mcg thyronorm. I also take glycomet 1000 for insulin resistence.
Please let me know which medicine can I take to get some relief? I hope noting serious? I had U sound of my thyroid about an year back where there was a cyst very small in size. Can it be due to that?
Thanks

Brief Answer:
Seems to be Upper respiratory tract Infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi Shailly,thank you for posting your query on health care magic.
Looking at your symptoms,it seems that you might be suffering from infection in your throat due to cold.Allergy might be a reason for your cold.Initially it might be allergic which might have later converted to infective.
Headache might be due to Sinus Blockage or Infection resulting from cold.
Posterior nasal drip might cause irritation inside throat.
You have started tablet Taxim(200 mg) since last night.It is an antibiotic-Cefixime.Continue using it.
You may also find relief by taking Analgesic(like Ibuprofen),Antacid(like Rantac),Antihistaminic(like Cetrizine),Oral Decongestant (like containing Phenylephrine) ,Nasal Decongestant (like Oxymetazoline) and Mucolytic(like Ambroxol) along with Antibiotic.
Also do steam inhalation.Warm saline gargles.Avoid Cold,spicy and oily food.Drink lots of fluids(warm).Drinking hot tea containing Honey,lemon and ginger will also help.Drinking Turmeric milk will also give relief.Avoid Dust,smoke and other pollutants.
It does not seems any serious.So,you do not worry.
Continue taking Thyronorm and Glycomet.
A cyst in the thyroid is not responsible for these symptoms.
Hope these answers your question.I would be happy to answer you if you have any follow-up question.Get well soon.
