How Can Chest Congestion Along With Fever And Body Ache Be Treated?
I have had fever conditions for almost a week. I take ibuprofen every 6 to 8 hours to help regulate fever, I have some chest congestion but it has gotten better since I have taken doxycyclinehyclate ( 100 mg twice daily) for the past 5 days. Fever and body aches and chills followed by periods of excessive sweating persist.

Hello and welcome to the HealthcareMagic!
Your work up done is as follows:
1) Auscultation
2) CBC
3) If needed, a chest x-ray after doing an auscultation.
If CBC shows high neutrophil count then an antibiotic course of Co-Amoxiclavor and Cefixime will be needed.
Decongestants like Levocetirizine 5 mg OD for five days should be prescribed.
Take one tsp turmeric powder with milk daily.
Steam inhalation should be done three times a day.
Salt water gargle with warm water needs to be done three times a day
Hope this solves your concern.
Take care
