I have had a cough and fever up and down for 5 days. The fever was high the second day up to 102.7 but know is just a low grade fever between 99-100 that is making me feel yucky. I am on amoxicillan for 3 days. I am not having trouble breathing, just a cough that changes from dry to wet throughout the day. Doctor can t get me in for 5 more days. I saw a clinic doctor last night who said I have a sinus infection, but I don t have any symptoms of that and have never had trouble with my sinuses. I am hoping this is just a virus that should be running its course soon. Help! I am 42, 5 6 and 128 pounds. I am typically very healthy and run and exercise a lot.
The symptoms seem to be related to a cold or flu. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest to drink liquids and rest. I recommend gargling with salty water and use a throat spray. If the symptoms continue, I suggest to see your physician for a physical examination.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
