Question 1

Why is my nose cold all the time ?

Accepted Answer

Cold extremities may be normal for most people, but if it is a chronic condition, it could be due to raynaud's syndrome, which is not uncommon & is due to a vasoconstriction of blood vessels in the nose and extremities. See your md to see if that is the issue.

Question 2

I had a fever, runny nose, headache, chills, cold sore, and mouth sore all appear at the same time. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

With fever, chills and headache, your symptoms likely represent some kind of infection.  If your runny nose is mostly clear, it is probably a viral infection.  I'd recommend increasing fluids, taking some anti-oxidants and vitamins.  Chicken soup still works great and has some clinical research to back its use.

Question 3

Having severe hot flashes and chills along with a stuffy nose and dry cough, is this just a normal cold? what can i do for the hot flashes?

Accepted Answer

Difficult to diagnose based upon little information given. Stuffy nose & dry cough suggest "normal" cold but hot flashes & chills might be due to influenza or even pneumonia. If you're otherwise feeling ok (aside from being sick), otc acetaminophen, Ibuprofen & Naproxen are useful to take away fever. Ibuprofen & Naproxen should never be used together since both are nsaids & can irritate stomach.

Question 4

Fever - temperature changing all the time, body chills, blocked nose, little bit of phlegm and head feels heavy. is this the flu or should i have a covid test?

Accepted Answer

COVID 19 Sx's may include fever, cough, feeling tired, shortness of breath, muscle aches, headache, sore throat, chills, chest pain, nasal congestion, loss of taste or smell, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Get urgent care for difficulty breathing, blue lips, persistent chest pain/ pressure or new onset confusion.  COVID 19 & influenza can look very similar. Testing would rule COVID in or out.
