Suggest A Remedy For Sore Throat And Dripping Nose

It started two days ago when I started having a sore throat, nothing special. Then yesterday I started getting influenza like symptoms, (coughing, sore throat, dripping nose and my ears feel a little weird, headache) and then, today I woke up where my neck hurts(i couldve just sleeped badly, dont know), and I am very scared it could be menigitis I can look at my belly button, there arent any constraints, but when I move my neck left or right it hurts alot. I am not coughing up any slime or anything, just coughing.. air. I have already called a doctor but I really need to get my mind at ease, since I can t sleep because I am scared... Sorry for my bad english, I am a 16 year old Danish boy.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an upper respiratory tract infection. I recommend using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day.

I also recommend using a saline nasal spray for local relief. I recommend drinking liquids and rest.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
