What Causes Cough Along With Runny Nose And Body Ache?

Hi Doctor. I have been sick since Sunday until now, coughing, runny nose and body ache. Today the runny nose is gone but the coughing is still a little, but then I notice that I have some rashes on my both hands, they re not itchy or anything. So what does it mean and will it get worse?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of cough along with runny nose and body ache which means you are suffering from viral infection and might be a co infection of bacterial infection along with viral infection.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Do warm saline gargles 4-5 times a day.

- Take anti-inflammatory drugs along with oral decongestant like Pseudoephadrine for runny nose.

- Take muscle relaxant to avoid tiredness and weakness of body.

- Take steam inhalation to prevent further exaggeration.

Consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Your symptoms will start resolving in 1 week.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
