Hello Doctor,
I’ve been feeling a little under the weather lately. I’ve had a sore throat, a cough, and some congestion for the past few days. I’m not sure if it’s just a cold or if I should be concerned. Could you provide some advice?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Based on the symptoms you've described, it sounds like you might have a common cold. Cough, sore throat, and congestion are typical signs, but it can also be caused by other factors like allergies or a mild viral infection. If your symptoms persist for more than 10 days or worsen, it may be a good idea to consult with a doctor for a more thorough evaluation. In the meantime, stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and consider using over-the-counter remedies to alleviate symptoms. If you develop fever, shortness of breath, or other concerning symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.
Thanks
