How Can Severe Headache And Cough Along With Fever Be Treated?

I have a fever, cough, sore throat, head and earache, and general fatigue and body aches. I am supposed to go to the NCAA Championship game today in 2 hours but am not sure if I can manage going. Is it a bad idea to go and then also get on two flights tomorrow back to school?

Hi welcome to the health care magic

You are suffering from acute respiratory tract infection condition....

Most of this infection caused by viruses like rhinovirus, influenza virus, adenovirus etc...

Headache, muscle pain occurs because of constitutional symptom in such condition

You have to take rest for early improvement

You will not able to do activities in game with your full participation

So better to take rest..

For Symptomatic relief decongestant antihistaminic drug can be prescribed like levocetrizine or phenylephrine

Steam inhalation done three times a

Salt water gargle done

Drink more water to loose mucus and for soothing (warm water)

If secretion accumulation more Ambroxol lozenges or syrup or tablet can be used

Vitamin C lozenges taken three times a day

Hope your concern solved

If improvement not seen then CBC done and antibiotic started

Take care
