Suggest Treatment For Soreness In The Neck And Headaches
So the day before yesterday I developed soreness in my neck, and an unrelenting headache. That continued on through yesterday, except that yesterday I also developed an extremely sore throat and began running high fevers (Highest was 104.3). And my neck began to get very stiff. This has all continued on through today except now I have to rally work at breathing and if I breath in deal I cough up so very thick green almost chucky sputum and I am so exhausted that walking the 20 feet from bed to the bathroom takes all my energy. I don t have health insurance so I m trying to avoid it if possible. Is there anything I can do? What could this be?

Hi,
You seem to have severe respiratory infection & it needs urgent medical care.
If you have a financial problem go to government emergency care Or a chest specialist for authenticated advise after exa monitoring & investigating you.
You do need a suitable antibiotic along pain & anti-inflammatory drugs with other accompaniments needed depending on the invasion of infections.
Paracetamol pill 6 hourly with cough expectorant over the counter can help at home till you get expert care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
