Hi Dear,

welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of chest tightness, cough and congestion after constant sneezing which is because due to streptococcal infection and it could be due to sever infection of upper respiratory tract. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take antibiotics like Amoxicillin for 5 days. Gargle with an antimicrobial mouthwash such as listerine. You should take steam inhalation with vaporizers. Avoid spicy, hot and sharp food substances. You should take anti-inflammatory painkiller Ibuprofen for relief from pain and inflammation. Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily. Do warm saline gargles. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. Visit pulmonologist once and get blood and sputum test done to find out exact cause and start treatment accordingly. Avoid cold carbonated beverages.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
