Constant Coughing Due To Post Nasal Drip Allergy, Causing Body Ache, Chills And Fatigue. Cause For These Symptoms?
I have had near constant coughing due to post-nasal drip from allergies for over a week. None of the allergy meds seem to help. Yesterday I had a severe headache from all the coughing but was otherwise fine nil about 5 pm when I suddenly got body aches, chills, fatigue , and my skin was hurting to the touch. I did not have a fever (according to thermometer ) but I did feel feverish. I went to bed early and had a very restless night with the chills and body aches/skin hurting. I woke up feeling much better this morning. All symptoms gone except for the coughing but I was physically tired. Then around lunchtime, I started feeling nauseous and vomited once then the body aches, fever, chills returned. I can t seem to get comfortable. Please help.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
With the available described symptoms, you are most likely suffering from acute upper respiratory tract viral infection with involvement of gastrointestinal tract causing nausea and vomiting.
You should consult with internal medicine specialist and should go for thorough check up.
You should go for complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, chest x ray, renal function test and serum electrolytes.
You should take complete antibiotic therapy, antispasmodics, probiotics, decongestants and cough suppressants.
You should also take antiemetics such as metoclopramide and domperidone.
You should maintain your hydration by taking potassium rich solution.
You should avoid cold drinks, oily and sour food, milk and all milk related products.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
