Is cough, fever, swollen neck with headache concerning?
Patient: Saturday morning I woke up with a cough. Over the course of the day it escalated to a fever, my neck felt swollen, I had a horrible headache, it hurt to inhale deeply. I took some ibuprofen around 8:30pm and that didn't really help, but an hour later I took some nyquil and my fever broke and my head stopped throbbing. I woke up today, Sunday morning, and felt fine, no fever, headaches, nothing. Should I go see a doctor Monday anyway or is whatever I have cleared up? Doctor: Hi,It seems that you might be having viral infection giving all these problem.This infection is self limiting and as you are feeling better with symptomatic treatment, continue as and e when required.Take plenty of water and take rest.avoid cold drinks, spicy and junk food.Ok and take care.
