Suggest Treatment For Dry Cough,nasal Drainage And Lower Back Pain

Hi I have been having a dry cough that when after couging tastes like metal for the past two weeks, along with nasal drainage, nausea feelings at times, headaches, some dizziness and a dull lower back ache at times. When I do lay down at night it is difficult for me to take in deep breaths, but I still can, just feels like I have to work harder.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query dry cough,nasal drainage and lower back pain which are the symptoms are pointing towards condition called sinusitis. Back pain may occur due to viral infection , take ibuprofen an apply warm compresses on lower back. I would suggest you to take steam 2-3 times a day to relieve congestion, drink plenty of fluid , give hot compresses to face ,do warm saline gargles and if you are allergic to penicillin then you can opt for amoxicillin. For allergy take over the counter antihistamine drug like benadryl. Consult ENT specialist (ear, nose ,throat) for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may order blood test or X-ray. He/ she may prescribe antibiotics course nasal corticosteroids , antihistamines and decongestant.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
