How Can Sinusitis And Cough Be Treated?
I am a 92yr old woman. Several days ago I developed a head cold. My nose continues to be very stuffy with much blowing. Also a cough that appears to be in my throat. Clear phelgm when I cough it up. Not sure if this is just a cold. Drinking a lot of water and trying to sleep alot. Should I do anything else. Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It sounds like a Cold. Some nasal saline used frequently during the day may help.
Watch out for worsening symptoms like fever and shortness of breath and if these occur, then see a doctor right away.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kathy Robinson
