What Causes Sore Throat Along With Headache And Cough?

I have been feeling sick for about 5 days. It started with a sore throat, headache, unproductive cough, no fever and some sinus congestion. Now in the 5th day still fever free, but I am beginning to cough up a green tinged sputum and still have the nasal congestion.

Hello,

As per your query, you have symptoms of sore throat along with headache and cough which is due to infection of upper respiratory tract due to poor compromised immunity of body.

I would suggest you to use mist humidifiers in room. Visit ENT specialist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and go for blood and sputum test.

You should keep yourself hydrated always, take diet rich in multivitamins. Avoid taking spicy and sharp food. Start with Crocin syrup 5 ml, 4 to 5 times a day depending upon fever.

If fever increases, do tepid sponging as well with cold water. Avoid cold carbonated beverages.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
