Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of feeling of fullness in the throat and dry cough which seems to be due to severe upper respiratory tract infection and due to eustachian tube dysfunction.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take throat lozenges along with nasal sprays and do warm saline gargles. You should apply mist humidifiers in room. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic 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. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids. You should take steam inhalation on daily basis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
