Suffering From Severe Cold,sore Throat,head & Chest Congestion

I have been sick since the 31st of march. It started with what seemed to be a severe cold, severe sore throat and head and chest congestion. I lost my voice for a little bit. Now it is still here, my voice is back but does have some rasp to it. I have a very dry throat and cannot swallow very well and no amount of water helps. Sometimes it is hard to breath. My nose is so raw and I even got a bloody nose after blowing. When I blow my nose my ears make a squishy squeeky sound and pop. Not sure if I should see a doctor or if it will go away on its own. Really bothersome since all of this makes me feel very tired and occasionally have been nauseous.

Hello

Thanks for consulting Hcm

I have read your query . As far as severe cold , sore throat and chest congestion is concerned this can be due to throat infection , pharyngitis or cold . For this I will suggest you to consult Ent surgeon for clinical examination . Inmeantime do warm saline gargle 2 to 3 times a day and you can take medicine like Azithromycin by consulting with local doctor .

Hope this will help you .
