How can chest congestion and headache be treated while suffering from an upper respiratory tract infection?
Patient: I had a cough associated with allergies, and upper respiratory infection diagnosed two weeks ago.  I  have had a shot in my hip a week ago (not sure of the name) but am still coughing and headachy - no fever. Still feel some congestion in my chest. Now I have a headache in the front, top and back of my head.  Feeling in my head is almost like my blood pressure is up, although I do not have high blood pressure.  I take Jentaduet for Type 2 Diabetes, levothyroxine for my thyroid, Fenofibrate and Ros...(statin for cholesterol and high triglycerides (300).  Also OTC D3 for diagnosed deficiency.  Also RX fish oil - but only one today. Doctor: HiAs you explain the history your concerns might be from the viral situation. Don't worry we usually recommend paracetamol in such cases. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
