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 ve been sick the last 2 days. I had a fever of 100.4 yesterday all day. Also had a headache, sore and swollen throat. And also just being weak. I ve had no appetite what is so ever. I haven t ate or drank much of nothing. I feel a little better today. I ve been having trouble breathing due to the drainage. Well I just coughed up a huge bloody, snotty, rubbery wad of mucus. Just curious if this is something to worry about?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of fever, headache and sore throat which seems to be due to severe upper respiratory tract infection.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to
- Take throat lozenges along with nasal sprays.
- Do warm saline gargles.
- Apply mist humidifiers in room.
-Drink plenty of fluids. You should take steam inhalation on daily basis.
Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get blood investigation, X-ray chest and paranasal sinus x-ray done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Avoid oily and sharp food , eat light and eat small meals . Doctor may also refer you to gastroenterologist for acid reflux.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
