Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The symptoms what you have been describing appears that you have been down with respiratory tract infection.
Kindly do the following to overcome them.
1. Do salt water gargling with warm water thrice daily.
2. Use steam inhalation to liquefy the mucous for easy drainage.
3. Take mucolytic-decongestant medications in the form of syrup containing Ambroxol/Bromhexine, Guaifenesin and Chlorpheniramine maleate as ingredients.
4. Take a course of oral antibiotics Tablet.Azithromycin once a day for 3 days.
5. Take medicated lozenges for throat soothening effect when necessary.
Strictly avoid consumption of cold items like cold drinks and ice cream.
Your symptoms should get better soon by adopting to above measures.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
