Treatment For Sore Throat, Blocked Nostril And Headache
11 days ago, I started with symptoms of sore throat, sneezing, headache & light brown phlegm coming up my throat while light yellowish green mucous coming out from my nose. I saw the doctor the next day who prescribed my with ZMax - Antibacterial agent (single dose). It s been 11 days and I am still needing to blow my nose very frequently as there s still a lot of yellowish mucous. This morning, I woke up with a sore throat and have been drinking a lot of warm water, gargling salt water, taking manuka honey, vit C and my multi-vit. Am I suffering from cold? Flu? Should I see a doctor again or am I on the road to recovery? Only one nostril is blocked right now. Please advise. Thank you.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to a cold or flu.
I suggest using an anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
I recommend to drink liquids and rest.
I also suggest to use a saline nasal spray to treat the nose congestion.
