What Causes Blood Stained Thick Green Phlegm, Chest Tightness And Swollen Throat?

Hello doctor, This past week I have been in terrible shape with a supposed virus. According to my emergency doctor my lungs etc were fine. My symptoms have been that of the flu/pneumonia which I ve had before. It started with fever, hot and cold all night, scratchy skin to the touch, then dizziness, bad chest, coughing. I described this to the doctor and he dismissed it as flu saying it was just a virus. That was 4 days ago now, since then, I ve been sick with a slight brown tinge, my flem is thick yellowy green with spots of blood, I am perspiring a lot to the point my clothes are getting drenched and I m drinking a lot of fluid. But worst of all now, my chest is rediculously tight, with pain every time I inhale, I can t walk 400m without being completely out of breath and my throat is now swallon to the size of a 5p piece, but my glands army raised or swallon. I ve tried calling the out of hours gps and nhs to no luck. Please can you help diagnose what s going on?? Thanks Fraser Duffield 24 Oxfordshire

Your symptoms are suggestive of some chest infection for which you can take levoflox or azithro after an expert opinion along with diominic-dca or wikoryl for chest congestion and discomfort. For cough you can take syrup asthakind or bro-zedex three times daily. Take steam inhalation and do warm water gargles as it is very helpful in case of chest congestion and discomfort.
