Suggest Remedy For Severe Cold And Congestion With Nausea And Chills

I have recently returned from Mauritius. I have been suffering from a heavy cold and chesty cough and now have chills and hot sweats, together with sudden violent sickness-but not diarrhoea. It s almost two weeks since the start of what I thought was a common cold, but I seem to be worsening rather than improving and feel exhausted -sweating profusely, just getting dressed. I am a 63 years old female.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.

Understanding your concern. As per your query severe cold and congestion with nausea and chills is due to upper respiratory tract infection is caused by virus known as common cold infection. It is mainly due to change of climate and change in weather conditions. Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to take few preventive measures such as avoid fried and spicy food. Apply mist humidifiers in room. Take multivitamins to booster your immunity. You should use decongestant nasal sprays like Otrivin along with antibiotic such as Amoxiclav. Take tablet acetaminophen if fever also there. Use throat lozenges. Visit ENT specialist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get it examined and start treatment accordingly. You should take antihistamine drugs along with antibiotic combination. You should do saltwater gargle as well. Avoid smoke and cold carbonated beverages.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
