I'm really worried because I had a viral fever for about 5 days, hitting over 100 multiple times a day. It's been 10 days since my fever stopped, but I'm still feeling extremely weak day and night. Im constantly sleepy, and even walking around the house leaves me exhausted. Watching TV seems impossible because my eyes hurt and I feel drained. Can you tell me how I can overcome this weakness?

I've had nose congestion for the past three days, and last night it got a lot worse, with my chest feeling congested while I was breathing. Should I be worried about this, and what can I do to feel better?

It sounds like you're dealing with a combination of nasal and chest congestion, which could be due to a viral infection or allergies. It's important to rest, stay hydrated, and consider using a decongestant or steam inhalation. If your symptoms worsen or you experience difficulty breathing, seeking medical attention would be advisable.

Ive been dealing with a cough and cold for a few days and recently had a fever that went up to around 100.5F. It only lasted for a bit and went down after taking pcm. My doctor suggested a blood test and it turns out my ESR is at 40, though my hemoglobin and platelet count are normal. I'm confused and a bit worried about why my ESR is high. The doctor told me to take azithromycin for 5 days. Is there something serious going on with this high ESR?

It's indicates infection... Continue with antibiotic course

I'm really struggling with a dry cough and it's quite annoying. Are there any effective cough syrups you could recommend to help with this? I've tried a couple from the pharmacy but haven't had much luck, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

For dry cough, you can try using Delsym (dextromethorphan) syrup. The recommended dosage for adults is 10 mL every 12 hours. Another option is Robitussin Dry Cough (dextromethorphan) syrup, with a recommended dosage of 10 mL every 4 hours. Always follow the instructions on the label and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
