My normal body temperature is 98.6. I have been ill that last week. My symptoms began as an itchy throat with coughing and being extremely tired. As the week progressed I ve started getting extremely hot and cold randomly and my cough has gotten worse trying to cough up mucus. It s gotten to the point I ve been coughing so hard I ve throw up. Should I see a doctor?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have itchy throat, cough and tiredness these symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition known as upper respiratory tract infection. It could be due to acidic reflux as well as acidic content of stomach come upward due to upper esophagus sphincter dysfunction and cause irritation to the lining of throat and to larynx. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order x-ray chest, endoscopy and blood tests ans start treatment after proper diagnosis. For now take proper course of antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory medications. Eat light and non spicy food specially at night , eat at least one hour before going to bed and eat small meals. Do warm saline gargles.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
