Suggest Treatment For Infection Due To Cold

I began to get a slight infection about 2 weeks ago, green phleghm, lethargy and a slight cough. After about 5-7 days this seemed to clear up and I was well for 3 days or so. Thinking I was ok I went out and drank moderately but 2 days after this (around 10 days after the initial onset) the symptoms came back worse. I have now had green nasal discarge and chest congestion for 5 days. Along with this I have had a headache or two, pink eye, swollen glands on the right side of my neck only. And probably the most odd symptom, a lump about the size of a pea at the very back of my top gum where the cheek and gum meet. This pain has eased slightly and hurt more in the morning or when pressed. I am a 20 year old female with a history of a pvlsa infection around 9 months ago.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Your history and symptoms suggest me that you are having lower respiratory tract infection. It started with the flu like symptoms and proceeded to have secondary bacterial infection.

You are having a bad bacterial infection now, which should be treated properly. I would suggest you to follow

1.Drink hot water, gargling with salt water.
2.Steam inhalation with Vapocaps.
3.Tab Bactoclav, 625 mg, twice daily for 5 days.
4.Tab Deriphyline, three times a day.
5.Nebulization with Duolin.
Thank you.
