Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Chest Congestion Along With Confusion And Slurred Speech?
My friend has severe chest and head congestion and took a claritin and 2 advil pms. He slept for about 12 hours and woke up confused and disoriented and unable to use a cell phone. This slowly decreased but he still seems to have some confusion and slight slurring of speech. What do you recommend?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Probably due to antihistamine he may become drowsy or disoriented. Other possibilities like meningitis, migranous headache or seizure disorder may also present like this. Please consult your physician immediately, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
