(Started witha sore throat , Cough , congestion, and tired) About 3 weeks ago it came back and now I have a lump on my noids that moves from the left to the right. New Year s Eve I had a fever 103.5 I broke it by taking a bath but now ii have a horrid headache can sleep for 10hr get up for 4 then back to sleep. Still congested and it hurts to exhale, I was putting off going to go see my dr but nothing is helping and now I can t get an appointment till next Monday should I go to the ER?

ENT Specialist,  's  Response
The dust/particulate matter in a hurricane can cause congestion in nose, throat and chest. You can take lots of steam, hot fluid sips and bronchodilators. If fever persists, please go to a physician who can examine your throat and also get a chest X-ray done. If fever is increasing with spikes, please go to the ER for immediate attention.
