What Causes Sore Throat ,chest Congestion And Sneezing?

Thursday night I had an exremely sore throat and woke friday to increasing congestion with minimal sneezing. By saturday, congestion increasing, very runny nose w large amts when i blew my nose, slight drainage in back of throat, hoarseness and feeling sick (bacterial from viral) Now cough is mostly dry, less runny nose, but deep chest congestion and more frequent cough. I still have that bacterial or viral sick feel, sweaty and tired. I was going to start a coarse of antibiotics after unsuccessful 4 days of natural remedies. I an scheduled for a breathe test tomorrow, which i will need to reschedule. I am an RN and choosing the best antibiotic considering i have intestinal metaplasia and lyme. Your thoughts?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an upper respiratory tract infection. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest using a mucolytic to relieve the cough such as Mucinex. I recommend to drink liquids and rest.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
