What Causes Dry Cough Along With Nasal Blockage And Dark Orange Mucus Discharge?
Had a bad cough for 3 weeks. And still have a dry cough after seeing a doctor 2 times and getting medicine. Nose was clear this week but suddenly it felt blocked. When I blowed my nose a blob of dark orange mucus came out. Extra - I suddenly started shaking this morning too.

Hi,
You seem to have common cold in beginning (mostly allergic, viral or can be bacterial). Your symptoms are due to involvement of sinuses in the problem.The shaking you had could be either out of fear or involvement of your middle ear in allergic / inflammatory sinus you have. Self care. Stop taking cold, sour, oily things or using / getting exposed to known allergens. Inhale vapor with Karval capsules over the counter (in boiling water). Take over the counter Tab Sinarest orally after food. In case of no relief / if the symptoms aggravate you need to consult an ENT doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
