Common Questions and Answers about Chest congestion cough sore throat

Avatar m tn Day 5- chills came back, had another night sweat (my neck, chest, and upper back were drenched), minor sore throat, dry cough and congestion. Day 6-Day 13- lingering dry cough. On Day 10- I went to the doctor and he prescribed me antibiotics for the cough. It has been a week since Day 13 and all symptoms have subsided with the exception of some congestion in my throat. I took a test for HIV yesterday but the results won't be back until next week. Does this sound like an ARS related episode.
Avatar n tn The congestion and sneezing have left, however, a sore throat and coughing persists. When I cough, I cough up clear and opaque phlegm. I tried taking Claratin and that seems to help a little. But I'm starting to think that this is beyond allergies and might be a bacterial infection?
Avatar n tn For about a year now I have had a cough and chest congestion, my doctor has switched my asthma medications several times thinking that might be the reason for my cough and congestion, she's tried many different types of allery medications, I have been to the pulmonologist, had a chest x-ray and nothing was found, but the cough and congestion I still have.
Avatar f tn So like 2 weeks ago I started having a cough. . But then I started having a sore throat maybe a week and a half after the cough started... And that was the sore throat from hell. It still hurts now too. No matter what I drank it hurt. I got azirhromycin from the doctor. And promethazine surup( not with codeine). When I first went to te dr, i just had the cough. And complained of a little sore throat and some runny nose but not much.
Avatar m tn It could be allergies I too have a dry cough for many weeks, scratchy throat, sore itchy eyes.Fatigue, all tests are normal ..I think its environmental as I do know each day in CA they are aerial spraying , you can ask for a heavy metal test to see if it could be something like that ..
Avatar m tn hello, last week I developed a mild sore throat (burning feeling in the back of the throat), it lasted 2 days, and then develpped a slight dry cough. The sore throat went away when the cough began, very few times had a little productive cough, but very few times, no runny nose, maybe a very little micro nasal congestion for a day or two. Did not get a fever nos muscle aches. The cough lasted around 4 or 5 days, then nothing else. Please give me some insight in what this could have been.

Avatar f tn I have a sinus infection and ear infection so im already on antibiotics but its doing nothing for my cough and sore throat. Is it safe at all to take cough drops or anything like that?
Avatar n tn About 3 days after that I started getting a tightness in my chest and congestion, but not really a sore throat. The day after I had sex with my TS friend I french kissed a woman friend. My woman friend is now complaining of a sore throat 4 days after I kissed her. Is it possible I got throat gonorrhea from my TS friend and gave it to my woman friend by kissing her? Based on everything I've read, I think I'm over reacting and this is probably a virus that will run it's course.
Avatar f tn Yep right there with ya...lots if decaf lemon tea with honey...a spoonful of honey on its own helps soothe your throat..doesn't last long but feels nice at the time. Children's liquid Tylenol helps soothe the throat too. I take 15ml and then one extra strength tablet. I was told that other than saline sinus rinse I wasn't allowed to take anything for congestion. But everyone seems to hear different things depending on your doctor. If coughing gets really bad puffers can be taken.
Avatar f tn Hi ladies, iv been in bedrest since Tuesday due to bleeding, but on Wednesday morning I caught a cold/flu. Symptoms range from sore throat, congestion (even though congestion I had from day 1) sore body now and then and creating a cough now too. That irritating dry one. Is it dangerous for my baby? I'm trying so hard to keep my immune system up but baby is taking all my nutrients and energy. I'm so scared this will harm him/her. I'm 11w3d.

Avatar f tn I am now 35 weeks with my first and I have managed to come down with a terrible cold. Chest congestion cough runny nose sore throat whole 9 yards. I feel miserable and exhausted. I talked to my dr and said to take some benadryl and that's about it. Any other suggestions? I am miserable and don't wanna go into labor being sick!
Avatar f tn What it feels like is the chronic post nasal drip I have has caused congestion in my upper chest. However, the weird part is, I really have no cough, and the occasional cough has never brought anything up. In the past, if my chest begins to feel this way, it is followed by the painful cough and coughing stuff up. I would not call what I have sometimes as pain, it feels more like irritation. When I am active, as well as when I drink a lot of water, it seems to be much better.
Avatar m tn The persistent cough, along with the possible presence of lingering congestion, could be causing your upper airways and throat to be inflamed and sore. Also, there could be a possibility of a hiatal hernia. Frequent or hard coughing is a risk factor. I hope that you will consider seeing a physician. Good luck.
Avatar f tn My symptoms initially began as a cold with chest congestion, extreme throat pain, fatigue, and a fever for the first two days. Almost all of those symptoms went away within one week and now I'm left with the sore throat. I also have post nasal drip so I'm wondering if this is causing the pain. The pain seems to get worse in the evening or in cold temperatures. It hurts to talk also.

Avatar m tn Recently has a few encounters with several CSWs. These encounters involved kissing, unprotected oral sex both giving and receiving, unprotected genital to genital contact, and a condom was used for intercourse. Last week I developed a sore throat, low fever, body aches, and headache. Everything except the sore throat resolved within 2 days. Now the sore throat is accompanied by painful swelling of my right tonsil and a tender lump on the right side of my upper neck just below the jaw.
Avatar f tn I have a sore throat too. I drank 5 water bottles today and my throat is already feeling a little better. Stay really hydrated, it thins mucus and all the other good stuff.

Avatar n tn He initially went to his primary care Doctor nearly 3 months ago complaining of severe sore throat. They did not do a swab but treated him for strep throat w/ Z pack.
