Suggest Treatment For Cold And Sore Throat
I have a cold that started with a sore throat night before last. I rested all day yesterday and started using Zicam. Sore throat is gone and now I have a little head congestion. I was also a little achy yesterday. I went back to work today. Am I contagious? Would my boyfriend get sick if he is around me?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. It could be viral infection there is a possible transmission risk.
2. Take steam inhalation twice along with antihistamines medication.
3. Blow the nose well, covering only one nostril. For sore throat, soothening agents can be taken.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
