I'm feeling pretty worried; I've been dealing with a cough and cold for the past two weeks. I've already taken 10 tablets of Sumo Cold and 6 tablets of Roxid 150 mg, but today the coughing has gotten worse. What should I do next?

It seems like your current medication is not effectively managing your symptoms. I recommend adding an expectorant like Mucolite syrup (10ml twice daily) to help with the increased coughing. Additionally, you can take a cough suppressant like Ascoril syrup (5ml thrice daily) to alleviate the coughing spells. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I'm curious about the lymph nodes in my neck. The doctor said they're within the normal range, but I've noticed what I thought was a supraclavicular lymph node. The doctor mentioned it was actually cervical. How high up from the collarbone would a supraclavicular lymph node typically be?

Ideally thats not possible,visit ENT doctor for evaluation and cause of swelling

I'm feeling like my neck and head are really hot, but I don't have a fever. Everything else seems normal, but this has been happening for about a week now. A little while back, I had dengue fever, but that got better around three weeks ago. Could this be related, or should I be worried about something else?

It sounds like you may be experiencing post-dengue symptoms. The sensation of heat in the neck and head without fever could be due to residual effects of the dengue fever. I recommend taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for any discomfort. Additionally, ensure you are staying well-hydrated and getting plenty of rest. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
