I've been dealing with a sore throat and fever about ten days back. I took antibiotics and got better, but I'm still having this annoying buildup of phlegm and my throat feels irritated. Every time I cough, there's phlegm and occasionally a bit of pain. I'm really looking for something that can help fix this lingering issue. Any advice?

I'm experiencing something strange with my nose. There's this yellow runny liquid coming out, and it kind of looks like urine but it isn't the usual nasal discharge. I've just recently gotten over a cold about 23 days ago, so I'm not sure if it's related. It feels similar to when you have a nosebleed but without any blood. It's been happening for about a day now, just in small drips. I'm really confused and would appreciate some advice on what might be going on. Any thoughts?

You may be experiencing a condition called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea, where there is a leakage of clear fluid from the nose. This can sometimes be mistaken for urine due to its color and consistency. CSF rhinorrhea can occur after a head injury or surgery, but in some cases, it can also happen spontaneously. In your case, since you mentioned having a cold recently, it is possible that the increased pressure from coughing or sneezing during the cold may have caused a small tear in the tissue surrounding your brain and spinal cord, leading to the leakage of clear fluid. I recommend you see a doctor as soon as possible for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, it is important to avoid blowing your nose forcefully and to keep your head elevated to potentially reduce the leakage.
