Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat, dark green mucus and headache which seems to be due to severe upper respiratory tract infection leading to strep throat.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Take throat lozenges along with nasal sprays and do warm saline gargles.

- Apply mist humidifiers in room.

-Drink plenty of fluids. You should take steam inhalation on daily basis.

- Take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with anti allergic medication Levocetirizine.

Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get blood investigation, X-ray chest and paranasal sinus x-ray done and start treatment after proper diagnosis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
