Suggest Treatment For Persistent Sore Throat And Cough
Hello. I woke up Saturday morning with a sore throat. Then that night sat night Sun morning woke up with a fever of 101.4 . Now the fever is gone but I still have a sore throat, still coughing up yellow greenish mucus and nose still running should I take a trip to the ER?
Hi, Welcome to healthcare magic. I had gone through your question. This could be upper respiratory infection. Nothing to worry, you will be fine. I recommend the following 1) A course of antibiotics. 2) analgesics like tab paracetamol for pain and fever when ever present. 3) Expectorant syrup. 4) Salt water gargling. Add a pinch of salt to a glass of warm water. 5) Antihistamine for runny nose.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help you.
Wish you a good health and speedy recovery
Regards, Dr Paparaja S MBBS MS
