Hi Vincent,
Thanks for your query.
Hospital-acquired infection is very common. You apparently contacted a viral infection, or an irritant chemical, to which you have an inherent allergy) in the hospital from an infected patient/visitor or accidental contact with chemicals.
Take a short course of an anti-histaminic, such as, Levoceterizine; nasal decongestant drops and, inhaled steroids if required.
Allergic Rhinitis may be the cause, if you have been having repeated/frequent flu-like symptoms.
Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me and prescribe drugs in appropriate doses.
If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.
Take care
