OK. After 8 days of upper respiratory congestion, headaches, sore throat, cough...common viral symptoms...I am improving except when I lie down. Then, I get a hacking cough until my chest hurts. What is the best remedy/product for this chest congestion.

Hi Dear ,

As per query you have symptoms of chest congestion. I would suggest you to d warm saline rinses and take cough expectorants on daily basis. You should consult ENT specialist without any delay to prevent further complication like lung infection. Doctor may order CT scan ,chest x-ray , allergy test and blood test . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics at least for 10 days ( amoxicillin or penicillin ) , decongestant and expectorant . For now take steam twice a day to relieve congestion , apply hot compresses on chest and do drink glass of warm water with one spoon of honey in it .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
