Suggest Treatment For Chronic Cough And Chest Congestion

I have had a cough for about the past 5 to 6 days. This cough was not producing any flim or mucus but I could feel the congestion, so I started a regimen of mucinex which started producing the mucus. The next evening my eye started draining and the following morning I woke up with pink eye. I went to CVS Minute Clinic where they prescribed eye drops for the pink eye. Now two days later I have the cough again, my left ear feels like it needs to pop it feels clogged to where I can t hear anything. Now those symptoms are moving to my right ear with the left ear still clogged, I feel like I m going deaf, please advise.

Hi thanks for contacting HCM.

Noted according to your complaint you have severe viral infection means viral flu most likely....

Because of rhinitis and respiratory affection there can be eustatian tube swelling that can lead to pain in ear and feeling like deaf by obstruction of opening by congestive secretion...

Here your examination should done with ear examination also along with tympanic membrane examination..

Short term use of nasal spray containing fluticasone plus azelestine will be helpful to relieve congestion...

Steam inhalation taken....

Drink more water....

Humidifier can be used if in cold climate.

You can discuss all these with your doc.if needed.

Take care.
