Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your wife have symptoms of fever and coughing of black phlegm which is mainly due to viral infection. Need not to worry, it will take 5-7 days for fever to go away. Till then do tepid sponging on head and extremities. Avoid intake of any oily and fried food and cold carbonated liquids. Take combination of antibiotic such as Levofloxacin along with Ibuprofen/ Acetaminophen. You should take Levocetrizine as well. You should take cough expectorants along with warm saline gargles as well. Apply mist humidifiers in room. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and go for blood and sputum tests and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
