Suggest Treatment For Cold And Sinus Infection
I have had a cold for several days and possibly a sinus infection. Past 2 days seem back to normal except for the occasional runny nose. Tonight, t hours after dinner I spit in the sink and my spit was light pink. I brushed my teeth and it did not change. Toung is also more bright pink than normal. the back of my neck has also been sore on the left side for a few days. Any ideas?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The history and symptoms suggest me that you are having upper respiratory tract infection because of which you are having these symptoms.
When you spit in the sink it was light pink in color. Tongue is bright pink than normal along with pain in the back of your neck.
For all these symptoms I would suggest you to follow
1.Steam inhalation with vapocaps.
2.Oral Antibiotics like Tab Augmentin, 625 mg, twice daily, for five days.
3.Oral antihistamines, Three times a day.
4.Oral NSAIDs to relieve pain and fever.
5.Drink hot water along with these medicines.
The aforementioned measures help to reduce the symptoms and improve the condition.
Thank you.
