Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have cough, chest congestion, runny nose and stiffness in joints which is because of lung infection and bronchitis. It could be due to sever sinusitis as well. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles. Take throat lozanges. Take plenty of fluids. You should visit pulmonogist once and get it examined clinically. Go for chest X-ray to rule out condition clinically. You have to get pulmonary functions tests checked. You should take combination of antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Take steam inhalation as well. Sip on warm water on frequent basis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
