How Can severe Chest Cough Along With Headache Be Treated?
Hello, I am currently experiencing a productive chest cough paired with a mild headache and overall achy body. My cough is producing dark colored phlegm. I am also experiencing diarrhea but that is a more recent development. I have no head congestion. Should I seek medical treatment for antibiotics or take some cold medicine and wait it out.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to an upper respect tract infection. I suggest you to take mucolytics for the cough. I also recommend using anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen to relieve inflammation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
