How to manage symptoms like fever, cough, and weakness?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have symptoms like an occasional fever that occurs two to three times a day and throat problems, because of which I can barely speak, cough, and feel weakness. I have been taking Dolo 650 mg for fever. I took Azithromycin 500 mg for three days, which was of little help.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
Your symptoms were suggestive of acute laryngitis. It is an infectious condition. I suggest you consult an otorhinolaryngologist for a detailed evaluation and indirect laryngoscopy.
I advise you to do the following:
-
You should be prescribed decongestants like low-dose steroids for five days.
-
Steam inhalation done three times a day with lukewarm water is beneficial.
-
Take one tablespoon (tsp) of turmeric powder with milk daily.
-
You can complete the prescribed antibiotics course.
Kindly consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take proper guidance.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
