Are Sore Throat With Sporadic Cough And Clogged Ears Symptoms Of HIV?
Hi. I am a flight attendant and while I was flying yesterday, my right ear got clogged. It has been like that since and now I also have a sore throat with sporadic cough and phlegm. Today would be the 10th day after possible exposure. I am really afraid that this could be hiv. I ve been reading about it and these sound like possible early symptoms. I am really nervous.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern. Discussion:- Such symptoms could be due to allergic condition not due to HIV infection and this is nothing to worry. Medication:- Antihistamine can be tried Tab Levocetirizine 10 mg three times in day. Advise:- Have some hot drinks, steam inhalation. Comments:- doubt of HIV can be ruled out with specific test in case of history of exposure. Hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
