Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The symptoms what you have been describing appears that your husband is having secondary bacterial infection of sinus and respiratory tract due to viral infection.
Kindly do the following to overcome them.
1. Salt water gargling with warm water thrice a day.
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.Azhithromycin.
5. In case he feels feverish with headache and body aches, he needs to take Tablet. Paracetamol with Ibuprofen combination after food.
6. Take medicated lozenges for throat soothening effect when necessary.
