What are the methods for treating upper respiratory tract infection?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Given your history, assuming you had an upper respiratory tract illness. A throat infection makes you more likely to develop an enlarged reactive lymph node. Upper respiratory tract infections and Rhinitis-like conditions, on the other hand, can cause nosebleeds. In upper respiratory tract infections, headaches might emerge as a constitutional symptom.

If your respiratory problems persist, I recommend that you get the following workup performed:

1. Auscultation

2. Throat examination

3. CBC (complete blood count)

4. Chest X-ray and PNS (paranasal sinus) X-ray if neededASO titer or throat swab etc.

5. Antibiotic treatment is required if there is a high total count and neutrophilia.

If your swollen lymph node persists for a few days, I recommend that you get an FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) for additional evaluation.Consume vitamin C lozenges.If there is congestion, a decongestant medicine such as diphenhydramine or cetirizine might be administered. I also recommend that you check your blood pressure frequently. If your blood pressure is high, I recommend that you begin taking antihypertensive medications.I hope this helps.Thank you and take care.Regards.
