How Can severe Cough Along With Body Pain Be Treated?
I am a 61 yr old female, chronic pain due to psoriasic arthritis. I ve recently had the flu, mid January onset. This flu hit me pretty hard...fever/horrific cough/body aches. I still have a wet cough, yellow phlem, and am also dizzy and now feeling a bit sick to my stomach. What do you think?
First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, you need to get yourself examined by your primary care physician to rule out lower respiratory tract infection like pneumonia.
A baseline chest x-ray may also be needed. Sputum cultures and blood counts may also be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
