Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 34 year old female in generally good health and average height and weight. I started with cold Sx on Sunday morning and progressed through the cold as expected as I have in the past. However, I developed a low grade fever of 99.0-99.7 over the last 24 hours. I ve never noticed a fever with a cold before and was wondering if this is normal? Ears feel itchy but otherwise clear (Hx of ear infections so I am hyper aware of what an ear infection feels like), nose is slightly runny/stuffy, lungs are clear, slight productive cough with clear mucous, throat is itchy due to post nasal drip.
Hello, It is a cold virus. Thete is no need to take any antibiotic for this. Treatment involves.... Steam inhalation 2-3 times a day Drinking hot liquids Avoiding cold drinks Putting nasal decongestant drops like OTRIVIN for few days,if nose is blocked. Paracetamol tablet if you are having fever or bodyache. Thanks
