Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am suffering from a cold, occasional cough, sneezes, and runny nose with clear white to yellowish secretions for the past four days. I do not have fever or body pain. I am currently taking tablets Cetirizine and Decolgen Forte.
Kindly help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand you have had nasal discharge and mild cough for four days, and you are currently on decongestant and antiallergic medications. You appear to be having a viral illness. If the nasal secretions are yellowish all the time, you probably have a secondary bacterial infection. Your current medications, along with a decongestant nasal spray and vitamin C will be helpful.
Meanwhile, I would request you to get a COVID-19 test (Coronavirus Disease-2019) done. I suggest you be well hydrated, have a healthy diet, and take good rest. If you keep getting similar symptoms more frequently, you must be treated for allergic rhinitis with antiallergic, a steroid nasal spray, and antihistamines.
I hope I have answered your query.
Take care and regards.
