Please Suggest Treatment For Severe Cold

I am a 30 year old female. I have a bad head cold. It's slowly getting better but I have tons of mucous coming from all areas. My nose is blowing thick almost glue like mucous, coughing some of it up (all of this gradually clearing up), but my question is about the extra drainage coming from my eyes and the thick white vaginal mucous ( non fish smelling, non itching but slight almost ammonia smell and lots of it). Is all of this extra mucous and discharge normal from a strain of this bad cold/virus or do I have a few things going on? Thank you!

Hello,
Welcome to HCM

You may want to consider the use of a mucolytic. This is a medication that helps to break down mucus so that it may be more easily expelled.

There are different types including: guifenesin, bisolvan, mucomyst, aeroflux.
You can speak to your local pharmacist to find out which one is available in your area.

In addition, it is important to make sure that you use enough fluids because this would also help to decrease thickness.
THank you.
