Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend,
Welcome to XXXXXXX
You have mentioned the duration of these symptoms.
I need to know, since when you are having all these problems. Also , if you have any past medical history of any illness.
Also , i need to know if you are a smoker.
Let me list the possibilities:
1. Allergic Bronchitis
2. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
3.
Bronchial Asthma.
1,2,3 are possibilities if your disease is a chronic one.
But if you are having the symptoms in just recent past, it might be simply a Upper
Respiratory Tract Infection (commonly known as Sore Throat) or Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (commonly known as Pneumonia).
So tell me your age, occupation, duration, smoking status, age, any associated fever, cough with expectoration (sputum), color of your sputum, any weight loss,
night sweats.
If the symptoms are Acute , then you can do following things in consultation with your doctor:
1. Steam Inhalation
2. Warm Saline gargles.
3. A combination of
Levocetirizine ,Ambroxol ,
Phenylephrine ,Paracetamol available on the counter such as LCZ Plus.
4. An antibiotic like Azithromycin might be required if you have a Fever.
5. Adding a
bronchodilator like Bromohexine , Doxophylline may be considered if you have wheezes and Bronchospasm.
In case you XXXXXXX not get relief in next 5 days , i recommend following investigations:
1. Chest X-Ray
2. Hemogram with ESR
3. Sputum for Gram Stain (If you have fever),
4. Sputum for AFB (if
tuberculosis is prevalent in your country)
