What Causes Cough, Runny Nose And Hoarse?

I had a runny nose for the first 3 days and on the 4th day my chest feels tight and would force to cough so I can expectorate what feels like mucus in my chest. My voice is very hoarse and chest feels tight. I don t cough a lot. How long will this normally last. On the fourth day I just got one of my tooth extracted because it was infected and Dentist prescribed me Amoxicillin and Ibuprofen. What can I do to feel better. I have tried a hot shower and have been drinking a lot of fluids (had 2 liters of water today) and in bed all day. Please help. When will I feel better. Thanks.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks gor the query. I understand your concer.
You seem to have allergic / viral cold followed by laryngitis & chest bronchitis.
The antibiotic&Ibuprofen you are taking you should add anti allergic pill like cetrizine & decongestant cough syrup to combat chest tightness.
Vapor inhalation/hot saline gargles would help ...along with rest.. light nourishing diet....& lot of warm water.
Viral/allergic symptoms would go in a weeks time. If not or if you have yellow sputum/fever....you should consult a physician for needful antibiotics.
Thanks.
