Question

I started with a cold on Thursday now today is Saturday it hurts my upper body to try to cough and it feels like I have sinus congestion on the right side with a headache to that side also. I've used theraflu, mucinexDM and a couple of IBrofen (between yesterday and today for the ache). Should I continue to ride it out or ..any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance

Hi there

 

Sounds like you have taken some good over the counter medications here, but sounds like you may need something more. You might have developed Bronchitis, or sinus infection.

 

If you start running a fever between now and Monday or you start feeling worse or develop new symptoms, you probably should go ahead and be seen. Otherwise, you can wait until Monday and see if you feel any better (unless you want to go ahead and get a handle on it if you have to work Monday).

 

In the meantime, make sure you are resting, and drinking lots of fluids. Continue taking your meds you have been taking and hope you feel better soon!
