Common Questions and Answers about Common cold chest congestion

chest

Avatar n tn ALL OF A SUDDEN this evening my throat became scratchy, then I developed a cough and runny nose. After a few hours I could hear congestion in my chest. After a few cups of hot team with honey, lemon and a little brandy i spit up a greenish color mucus that eventually turned clear. Most of the rattle in my chest is gone, but my throat is sore and I do not have a fever. What is going on???
1375148 tn?1323166921 Sorry...I know how nasty a head cold is for those with out chiari....and I know how bad it is with it.... be sure to get those nasal passages cleared...a netti pot or saline nasal spray...even shower soothers help clear things up.
Avatar n tn its a pressure to my chest not a congestion, also, i have hot and cold flashes
Avatar f tn I have this tightness in my chest i kno its mucus but i dont have a cough or cold it hurts when i try to take a deep breath ive never had chest congestion before im not coughing up blood or anything like that. ive been using my asthma pump because when i was younger i had trouble with asthma it helps clearing my airways so i can breath easier but it comes back after awhile.

Avatar f tn My doctor told me I can take robitussin DM for my cold. Is robitussin cough+Chest congestion DM the same thing?
Avatar f tn So I'm 32 weeks pregnant and have a horrible cold...my nose and chest are conjested....does anyone have any suggestions???
Avatar n tn t anything painful, just uncomfortable, and I assumed that I was developing some congestion due to a cold. 2 weeks later, I still have the pressure in my chest, but I never developed a cough or fever or anything else that I would associate with a common sickness. It seems to get worse when I do have to walk up stairs or exert myself, but it never goes away even when I have been resting for several hours. This morning I was almost late to a class so I was out of breath when I got there.
Avatar m tn Day 4- chills and aches went away, no night sweat, no fever, but dry cough, sore throat, sneezing and chest congestion; 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.
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 So, it started 2 days ago with clearly my throat, slight cough. Then it turned consistent cough and sinus pressure. Thankfully it was fall break from school so I had two days off. The first day I slept till 6 o'clock at night from falling asleep at 8 o'clock the night before. I woke up with a painful headache and sinus pressure in my face. I was congested with a mild fever, so I went on the attack.

Avatar f tn I been having coughing, chest congestion, nasal congestion and coughing up nasty stuff (mucus) ewww. What can I take or what can I do to fight this bug? Because I feel hopeless.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone!! I always feel so sorry for myself when I get a cold, but now I dont know what I can take o self medicate I fell even worse!! Lol. I'm 26 +4 and feel like total Crap, congestion amd coughing. Does anybody know what I can take or do to help relieve symptoms. Any advice would be brill!
Avatar f tn t help much because we can only take the one for chest congestion and not nasal congestion. You can try Benadryl. Otherwise, I just ate oranges, drank plenty of water and rested. I was better in 4 days.
Avatar n tn Thanks, I did forget to mention call cold chills the first night but nothing since then, just chest congestion and coughing, Just really worries me, Thanks for your response, I needed some good news.
203342 tn?1328737207 My mom has had really bad chest congestion and coughing for about 3 weeks now. She also has some chest tightness. She sounded terrible today when I called her. I'm worried because she had 3 stints put in her heart about 3 years ago and has heart disease. Could the chest congestion have anything to do with her heart? I'm just a little worried about her and wondered. Thanks for any info on this.
Avatar n tn I also found soaking a cloth in hot water and putting it on my chest really helps, or either making a hot mustard paste compress for my chest or a hot mustard foot soak really helps the sinuses/chest congestion.
Avatar f tn All off a sudden, out of the blue I get this terrible cold, cought chest congestion, ringing in ears. Im so tired I dont have energy to get out of bed. Went to urgent care and they gave me iv fluids, I was dehydrated at that point. Dr couldn't give me anything. However, recommended robitussin peak cold, no alcohol in it. This is for the cough and congestion. Cephacol cough drops to soothe my rawt throat and tylenol regular strength to help with the pains. Twice a day only.
Avatar f tn My doctor only let me take robitusin cough and chest congestion but it depend on how far along you are, i was in my first trimester, you may be able to take something else if your in your third
Avatar f tn Congestion is common in pregnancy due to hormones and increased blood volume. There's not much you can do to help it because it's from swelling and not build up of mucus. A humidifier can help a little.
Avatar f tn t think coughing and chest congestion is part of it. It is cold and flu season so maybe you have a cold? I could be wrong though.
