Question 2

I'm trying to figure out what's going on with me. I've had a bad cough for the past three days - it's been paired with a cold and sneezing. My temperature seems normal though. The thing is, I'm about to travel and I need some kind of remedy that can help in the next 12 hours or so. I plan to see a physician after that, but I really need some relief until then. Any advice you could give would be great.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like youre dealing with a common cold or viral infection. For the next 12 hours, try staying hydrated, taking a pain reliever like paracetamol if needed, and using a saline nasal spray for relief from congestion. If the symptoms persist, definitely consult a physician once you're able. Safe travels!
