What Is The Solution For Chills, Sweats, Barky Cough, Tiredness, Runny Nose With Green Mucous, Shortness Of Breath?

I have been sick since Monday December 30th. My symptoms seem to be getting worse by the day. I get the chills and sweats during the day. I have a barky cough day and night. my throat hurts form couching but gets better when I drink cold and hot stuff. My head is congested. I am tired all the time. I am constantly blowing my nose which is dark green. I have taken everything under the sun besides mucinex d and nothing is helping so far. I am a housekeeper and when I am at work and cleaning my rooms it is about 64 degrees in them and I feel like I am on fire and just want to lay down and take a nap. I am so tired during the day I just want to sleep. I had this about a month ago to and got rid of it within a week and this time I just can't seem to get rid of it and I am getting frustrated. Every time I cough it hurts my throat and I am getting shortness of breath because I cough so much and from being sick.

Hi. This looks to be recurrent problem with exacerbation now. The possible cause may be a sinus active infection giving green ( infected ) mucus and associated symptoms. I would such a patient to take broad spectrum antibiotics including coverage of gram negative organisms, decongestant orally and also in the form of nasal drops ( and steam inhalations) , mucolytic and antiinflammatory medicines; bed rest. All medicines need a prescriptions, so you need to visit a Doctor. If no relief within 3 days , i would also like to have your blood reports and may be a CT Scan of sinuses to know the extent of the disease.
