What Causes Sinus Congestion,fever And Headache?
I started with a tight chest 4 days ago that turned into chest congestion with a cough, followed by muscular weakness and mild aches, to now lots of sinus congestion, a headache and slight fever as well. Should I ride it out or see a doctor? What could I have?

Hello,
It may be due to viral infection or sinusitis or allergy. Avoid cool drinks and ice creams. Use tablet levocetirizine twice a day for five days.
Use salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. Use water vapour inhalation thrice a day for five days. If symptoms have not improved, please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
