Suggest Treatment For Severe Cold With Sinus Congestion, Fatigue, Runny Nose And Cough
For one week I had a severe cold with sinus congestion, low energy, running nose, and cough. It s gotten better but all of a sudden I have a very stiff and sore neck. It is very uncomfortable and I have to take Advil to reduce the pain. It s been 3 days and not improving. Are they related? What should I do?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe cold with sinus congestion, fatigue, runny nose and cough which is due to upper respiratory infection due to poor immunity of your body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid use of spicy, sharp oily and fried food substances. You should take cough expectorants. You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get chest x-ray done along with pulmonary function tests done so as to detect level of infection and treatment can be started accordingly. You should do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. Apply mist humidifiers in room. You should take throat soothing agents. You should take combination of antibiotic Levofloxacin along with antihistamine such as Levocetirizine.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
