Suffering From Fever,swelling Of Throat And Conjestion
I have had a fever ranging between 102.6 to 100 for 6 days now. My eyes are all red and crusted each day an basically sealed shut in the morning. I have a terrible sore throat, swollen glands, and overall congestion. I got the flu shot this year but am wondering if even though I got it, it could still be the the flew. Any thoughts on what I have would be appreciated. Thanks.

hi,
you seem to be suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection.
you can take any pain killer like tylenol for the sore throat.
please check your dose before taking it.
you can decongestant nose drops like otrivin to relieve nasal congestion.
do warm salt water gargling 4 times daily and drink lots of fluids.
get plenty of rest.
see a doctor as soon ans possible .
you may need eye drops and ointment for conjunctivitis.

Dr Rajkishori Godhi
