Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of stuffy nose,severe cough and with stabbing pain in shoulder which is due to persistence of respiratory tract infection which is getting chronic and leading to such symptoms. Bodyache is mainly due to coughing. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult pulmonologist without any delay. Doctor may order blood test , throat swab test or virus culture test. You should get an x ray of the chest done. You should go for pulmonary function tests as well to find out exact extent of infection. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with decongestants and mucolytic agents . I would suggest to:
- You should use throat lozenges and go rinses with warm saline water.
- You should avoid hot, sharp and spicy foods.
- You should take decongestant nasal sprays containing mucinex for instant relief.
- You should take expectorants. Steam inhalation is very effective for you.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
