What is the treatment for severe cold and cough?
Patient: First about 3 days ago I had a super stuffy nose and thought a simple head cold was my problem. a day or so later my nose cleared up and breathing was no issue. Then, a day later, my throat began to hurt so bad. I have no cough, or sneeze, but I am full of multicolored mucus. When it comes from my nasal passage it is yellow, sometimes with a small amount of redness, and from my throat it is usually a light brown, sometimes a bit bloody as well. this is only the second day, and it seems to be getting worse. whats up with me? Doctor: Hi,The multicolored mucus especially yellow indicates that your bodys defense has taken well care about the infection. You need not worry as I find no fever in your history. I presume you are violently clearing your nose and throat secretions which might have injured some mucosa resulting in a twinge of mixed blood which is self limiting. However, if the bleeding persists, you need to seek a personal medical attention. Steam Inhalation is the best home remedy and the viral infection shall subside on its own. Hope this helps.
