Suggest Treatment For A Bad Cold & Cough

5 days ago I came down with what seemed to be a really bad head cold. Started to get more congested in throat chest and nose. I now have a very bad chesty cough, nausea, loss of appetite, headache, fatigue, sore body all over and am tired but cant sleep. Do I need to see my Doctor? Or is it just a common cold?

Hello
Cold , chest congestion, sore throat , running nose , all are an indication , may be due to these factors:
1 Flu or viral infection .
2 ALLERGIC BRONCHITIS, diagnosis can be confirmed by whistling sound , short of breath , mild degree fever ( you are having all these symptoms .
3 Asthmatic allergic bronchitis .
When such patient visit my clinic I prescribe them to take LEVOFLOXACIN 10 mg / kg body weight once in day ( orally ).
Tylenol tablet according to necessity .
But these are prescription drugs , so please consult a doctor and get his help.
I find this answer helpful
