Suggest Medication For Cold,cough And Congestion

Today, I woke up being extremely conjested. The night before I could tell I was getting sick with either a cold or allergies. I tend to get Seasonal Allergies. This time, it feels more severe. When I bend my head over, sneeze, or cough, I have this excruciating pain in my left temple, and left eye. Just the left side of my face in general. I sneezed for the first time today and I couldn't believe the pain I felt in my head. Such as my brain expanding and then deflating. (like an explosion.) I also have symptoms such as a runny nose and sore throat. Do you have any idea what could be wrong?

Hello,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:

1. From your history, if could be both infection or allergy, possibly with involvement of sinus.

2. I usually treat my such patients with an antihistamine (like cetirizine or levocetirizine), montelukast, steam inhalation, warm saline gargles and a cough syrup.

3. Should you have fever, I would also prescribe an antibiotic and paracetamol.

4. In addition, I would suggest rest and plenty of warm fluids to maintain hydration.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you a quick recovery and the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
