Suggest Remedy For Persistent Cold And Throat Irritation

I came down with a cold the end of Oct. and went in to the Dr. Middle of Nov. and was told it was pneumonia. Put me on a antibiotic but didn t see it resolve for couple of weeks. I have had a cold again for couple weeks. Everyday I sneeze and blow my nose constantly all day long. Half the time it is yellowish color what I blow out. I m also continually having to clear throat but don t cough much. Not sure if I should go to clinic or let it run it s course as I don t want to be a bother if it s nothing.

Hi welcome to the health care magic

You are having cough and sneezing since many weeks

Hence it should be evaluated as follow....
_Auscultation
_CBC
_chest x ray
_sputum examination if x ray shows consolidation

If needed sputum culture also can be done to choose proper antibiotic

For cough Ambroxol syrup prescribed

If CBC shows eosinophilia than allergy testing done and fexofenedine prescribed

Take care

Hope this will help you

Consult pulmonologoist for examination and discuss your case
