What Causes Fatigue,persistent Cough And Cold?

I have had a cold virus for about 2+ weeks with nasal congestion, sneezing, coughing, aches. It seems that I m getting more tired and weak and not improving like I should be after this much time. The cough is hanging on and I have little energy for anything. I do have mild hypertension and take generic Toprol. No other meds except vitamin D, probiotics and an OTC menopause symptom reliever. I eat low a very low fat diet with a lot of vegetables.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of fatigue,persistent cough and cold which is due to lung infection and upper respiratory tract infection.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should get X-ray chest, along with blood and throat swab tests done to find out extent of infection. Start treatment after proper examination. Yopu should take throat lozenges. Avoid cold liquids, spicy, oily and fried food. Take diet rich in multivitamins. You should gargle with saline water. You should take cough expectorants as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
