What Causes Constant Cough Anf Fever?

Ive been having coughing fits for about 5 days now, coughing up phlegm (some of it blood tinged, probably because of my hard coughing), dizziness, stuffy and runny nose, hard to breathe, and a constant fever ranging from 100 F to 103 F. It feels like there's stuff (phlegm maybe?) deep in my lungs, I can feel it when i try to breathe deep, but I cant get it out. I'm also breastfeeding, and I have no medical insurance what-so-ever. What should I do?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have constant cough and fever which is due to severe upper respiratory tract infection. I would suggest you not to worry about it. You should take antibacterial drugs such as Levofloxacin along with anti-inflammatory drug. Take nimuslide along with paracetamol. Apply wet cold sheets on your head to lower down body temperature. Apply wet cold sheets on your head to lower down body temperature. Avoid hot, spicy and sharp food substances. Take diet rich in multivitamins and vitamin C. Your symptoms will resolve in 4-5 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get some routine blood investigation done. Take diet rich in multivitamins. Drink plenty of water. Take hot milk rich in turmeric as it will booster immunity. You should get x-ray chest done and get it examined.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
