Suggest Cure For Persistent Cold And Sore Throat

I thought I had a cold coming on, sore throat, ear ache, phlem, aching from head to toe. When to the dr. and received ciprofoxacn 500 mg every 12 hours. As long as I took the meds. I felt fine. Once I finished it. I started feeling sick again. Doctor prescribed a steroid pack - 7 days - taking fewer amts. each day till the last day...which is today. A few days ago as I started the lower doses of the pills I the symptoms came back - aching in the very center of my chest between my breasts, body aches, exhaustion/fatigue, some ear ache pain, phlem, and some jaw pain. All I want to do is go to bed. What is wrong with me...dr. told me if needed i could go back for more antibiotics or see a ear/nose/throat specialist.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent cold and sore throat which seems to be due to upper respirtory tract infection. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for throat swab test and get blood tests done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should do warm saline gargles. You should take steam inhalation. You should take antiallergic medication such as Levocetrizine. Take proper course of antibiotic along with mucolytic agents.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
