I'm 39 and I've been dealing with a cold and cough for a few days now. I tried taking Levolin Plus for my cough, but it feels like the phlegm is stuck in my chest and won't come out. I'm also hearing some noises from my ears. Can you recommend any medications, like a cough syrup or antibiotics, that might help me get some relief?

View allI'm dealing with a really annoying runny nose from a cold, and I'm wondering if something like Otrivin Oxy or the Vicks inhaler would help clear it up. Have you seen these treatments work effectively for this kind of issue? I've heard mixed things and just want to make sure I'm using the right thing to get some relief.
Otrivin Oxy and Vicks Inhaler can help with a runny nose due to the common cold, but they work differently and provide temporary relief. If your main issue is nasal congestion, Otrivin Oxy might be more effective, but for soothing and easier breathing, Vicks Inhaler can be helpful. Always follow the instructions for use and avoid prolonged use of decongestants like Otrivin. If symptoms persist, consider seeing a doctor.

I'm a bit concerned because whenever I take a deep breath or yawn, I feel a really sharp pain. Plus, I've been dealing with a cold, sneezing, and a mild cough for the last four days. Should I be worried? Could it be something more serious?

I've been sleeping with the AC on and now I've caught a cold, cough, and even a mild fever thats been bugging me since yesterday. I want to know if taking Paracetamol would be a wise choice, or should I just wait for it to pass on its own? By the way, I just finished an antibiotic course last week after a tooth extraction.
Given your recent antibiotic course and current symptoms, it's essential to be cautious. Paracetamol can help alleviate your mild fever, cold, and cough symptoms. However, consider the following: _Paracetamol Precautions_ 1. _Dosage_: Take the recommended dose (500-1000 mg) every 4-6 hours, not exceeding 4000 mg in 24 hours. 2. _Liver health_: Since you've had a recent antibiotic course, your liver might be under stress. Paracetamol can also affect liver function, so monitor your body's response. 3. _Underlying conditions_: If you have any underlying medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease, consult your doctor before taking Paracetamol. _Alternative Options_ 1. _Rest and hydration_: Focus on getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated to help your body recover. 2. _Warm liquids_: Drink warm liquids like tea, broth, or soup to help soothe your throat and ease congestion. 3. _Saline nasal sprays_: Use a saline nasal spray to help loosen mucus and reduce congestion. _When to Seek Medical Attention_ 1. _Fever escalation_: If your fever exceeds 102F (39C) or lasts for more than 3 days. 2. _Severe symptoms_: If you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe headache. 3. _Prolonged recovery_: If your symptoms don't improve within 7-10 days.
