Hi,
There may be sinusitis or respiratory tract infection. It includes tonsillitis, pharyngitis, tracheitis, laryngitis, bronchitis and pneumonia.
Please go for work up (prior to your visits). It includes chest x-ray, an x-ray of sinus, blood tests like ABG and CBC and ECG.
You may need steam inhalation, nebulization and drugs including antihistaminics and an antibiotic course.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
