Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I have been sick for a week and a half. First had the cold and it seemed to be going away then started with something else. I can't seem to get rid of this fever/head cold. I have been taking Tylenol complete, sudafed, and benalyin. Oh do I know if I have an infection? Will this go away by what I'm taking at home? Ugh please help thanks Kristin
