Why Am I Having Allergies Like Cold, Cough And Mild Fever Even After Taking Medicines?

I have hypothyroidism I take synthroid 50 mcq qam, Liothyronine 5 mcq TID, but I saw my PCP on Thurs for Ear pain. sore throat, felt like I had temp but I didn t it was my normal 96.5 she looked at my ear and said it was bulging, and throat was red but no white pockets (suggesting strep) and explained that since Va hasn t had a real winter yet we have had cold days then rainy days followed by warmer days and the mold is growing and people are treating symptoms like colds and its really allergies which I do have mold allergies. She told me to restart my allergy meds zyrtec and Flonase ( I stopped after first hard frost in winter and restart in March typically) and gave me Augmentin for the ear. I came home and ate lunch and took Augmentin fell asleep for a couple hours, woke up and began vomiting, and symptoms since have escalated into productive cough brown green mucous, Headache,,layerengitis (spelled wrong sorry) I have no voice at all. A lot of sinus drainage, no fever but I never run fever if my temp gets to 98 then I feel feverish.

Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Nasal allergy to mold and probably, several other allergens, is the root cause of your problems.

You should take anti-allergic drugs regularly THROUGHOUT the year! Adding Montelukast + Levoceterizine + Azelastin nasal spray to your prescription will reduce you symptoms by around 90%!!

The recent onset of productive cough, laryngitis, headache is due to acute Strep infection. A course of antibiotics + anti-inflammatory drug + frequent gargles with strong saline and, steam inhalation will improve your condition.

Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable/modified treatment as advised.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
