I haven t been coughing and I sneezed up bloody mucous today, im also having extreme discomfort in my neck along with swollen tender glands.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of neck discomfort and fatigue while having cough and congestion which is due to chronic infection of upper respiratory tract and long standing lung infection as well. It is due to energy loss of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist/pulmonolist as you will require thorough evaluation.You should take combination of antibiotic along with decongestants. You need anti-inflammatory medication as well. Get adequate rest and do salt water gargles several times a day. You should incorporate some lifestyle changes like avoid spicy, fried and oily food. Drink plenty of water to keep the throat moist and prevent dehydration. Drink Warm liquids like tea or warm water with honey. Avoid cold beverages.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
