<s>[INST] Hi doctor,I have been experiencing minimally productive chest, throat, nose congestion since yesterday. Been coughing as well but voluntarily, in attempts to clear my congestion. What gets produced, if anything, is barely anything and does not help the clogged feeling at the back of nose or top of my throat. My ears, mainly my left one, started feeling a bit sore this morning. Also, I am running a bit warmer than usual, 99.5 to 99.8. But before I get too detailed I will just wrap this up. Should I be concerned? Mainly because if whatever I am doing involves a medium to high level of physical activity. I start wheezing due to the congestion. I cannot exhale and begin to feel kinda short of breathe. Other than this I am not too worried and plan to cancel my appointment with my primary if things start to clear up in two days. [/INST] Hello. Have you seen your throat? Is it congested or are there any pus points over tonsils and throat? It is better if you could upload the picture of the throat. It is likely a viral infection involving the respiratory tract with may be superimposed bacterial component as well. You may need antibiotics like Azithromycin. Also, have Betadine gargles four times a day. For a cough, you have syrup Alex (Dextromethorphan) two teaspoons whenever needed up to three times a day and tablet Allegra 120 mg once a day for 3 to 4 days for running nose. Avoid cold food items. May use Xylometazoline nasal drops for congestion and keep Asthalin (Salbutamol) inhalation ready if having wheezing and shortness of breath.
