Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a bad cold and very little cough mostly head congestion last week with fever and fatigue. Now I'm up and moving around but still tired all over and with a little cough feels like a little drainage. I was sick Saturday thru Monday, now it's Wednesday and I still feel the tiredness and body aches.
Hello After common cold and fever it is very common to have fatigue and tiredness . However mild degree cough will be alright within next 2-3 days. When such patient visit I usually advise them to take rest for 4-5 days with high protein diet . I also advise them to take ibuprofen 600 mg twice in day for only 3 days . When cough stops take fresh fruit juice . Still feel tiredness then consult a physician and get his opinion regarding serum bilirubin level for jaundice. Good luck.
