What Is The Solution For Dry Cough, Aches, Stomach Issues And Fluttering Feeling In Throat?
I have been sick with a dry cough, some aches, stomach issues and low grade fever for a week now. I am having a flutter feeling in my throat and it is causing nausea and a feeling of need to gag. It occurs off and on during day, mostly at night though. Feeling of lump in throat too. Is it due to post nasal drip? I can feel PND and it seems like I have chest congestion that is not loosening as well. Should I see a Doc or wait this out??? The fluttering is getting to be very bothersome!!! HELP!!!

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dry cough, aches, stomach issues and fluttering feeling in throat which seems to be due to severe upper respiratory tract infection/ viral infection. I would suggest you to take throat lozenges along with nasal sprays and do warm saline gargles. You should apply mist humidifiers in room. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic medication Levocitrizine. Avoid oily and sharp food. 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.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
