Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of Upper Respiratory Tract Infection
Brief Answer:
Can be due to respiratory tract infection and associated lethargy
Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible.
Based on the history you have shared, it can be due to the associated symptoms to the upper respiratory tract infection, as you have mentioned the nasal drip to be significant and may resolved once the acute infection settled down. Other causes apart from anemia and WBC can be due to micronutrients defficiencies which can also present like lethargy. I would suggest you to have your thyroid and sugar levels checked and if these are normal then levels of folic acid, vitamin D3 and B12 can be considered as second resort. Meanwhile taking supplements for these may be of some benefit.
Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
