Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been sick for over three weeks now. It started with a cold that seemed ti have gone away in just a few days, but then I started to have a lot of sinus pressure. It's not unusual for me to have a sinus infection after a cold, I went to the doctor and he put me on antibiotics, a few days after, I started coughing and feeling weak. The cough went on for about 5 days, with lots of mucus. I am now really tired all the time and my eyes are burning. My throat is a bit soar and I feel like I have a bit of a fever although I cannot confirm as I do not have a thermometer.
I just want to stop feeling like I am so drained of energy that I can't do anything
Hello and welcome to HCM, The symptoms of fever, cold, sinus infection, burning sensation in the eyes and soreness in the throat are all suggestive of an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). URTI is due to virus or bacteria. You need to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and prescription of medication if required. In the meanwhile, you can take symptomatic treatment. Saline gargles twice a day for sore throat, paracetamol for fever and steam inhalation. Steam inhalation is helpful for sinusitis. Take rest and consult your doctor at the earliest.
Thans and take care Dr Shailja P Wahal
