I started with scratchy throat, cough, sneezing runny nose, low fever, and urine leakage upon rising from sleep. 11 days later I am still feeling weak, slight cough, sore throat, urine leak upon rising, headache and slight ruining of nose off and on. I am 65. My son had this, but is over it. His recent blood work indicated micoplasma pneumonia. Should I go to an urgent care clinic. I am not home.

Hi, thank you for posting!

I read your query very carefully and I understand your concerns.

Your symptoms are caused by the complications of a common cold.

To relieve your symptoms I recommend:
1. Bed rest.
2. Taking a lot of vitamins.
3. Drinking a lot fluids such as hot tea.
4. Taking Acetominophen 500 mg in order to relieve pain.

A pulmonary X-ray, a sputum culture and a complete blood count are necessary for the diagnosis. You need an urine test, too.

The results of these tests will determine the exact diagnosis.
Contact your pulmonologist to discuss about the treatment.

All the best.
Dr. Behar.
