Hi Sharon and thanks for posting your query on health care magic.

A so sorry to hear about these disturbing symptoms. From the information you have provided, this is most likely a cod with severe symptoms. Treatment generally entails taking medications to relief yourself of the symptoms. some include antihistamines(nasal congestion), Tylenol(fever and headache), etc. This is often effective. Blood in the nasal secretion supports the severity of these cold. In rare circumstances, antibiotics may be needed if a bacteria super infection is suspected.

For now, I will suggest that you take Tylenol and Benadryl for relief. If symptoms persist, the you may want to get consulted.

I wish you well.
Dr. Ditah, MD.
