Yesterday an onset of coughing started, followed by headache and vomiting, I have COPD, but it has never been like this, it reminds me when I had the flu but I have had the flu vaccine this year. I am male 59 yrs old 230#. I have begun blowing my nose and coughing even more, not a little but violently and is followed by me vomiting after the coughing spell.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of headache, cough, runny nose and vomiting which is due to upper respiratory infection. It seems to be due to compromised immunity of body as well.

You should avoid use of spicy, sharp oily and fried food substances. You should take combination of antibiotic Levofloxacin along with antihistamine such as Levocetirizine. Apply mist humidifiers in room. You should take throat soothing agents. You should do warm saline rinses several times a day. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get paranasal sinus x-ray done along with X-ray chest so as to detect level of infection and treatment can be started accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
