When i cough i feel it all over 
my chest and back and the right side of my head.  i have a constant flow of phlegm. i think it must be a virus..

Accepted Answer

I'm really sorry that you are having this difficulty. At the age of 70 with a severe cough and a lot of phlegm it is best that you see it physician. In the meantime drink plenty of liquids and take your ibuprofen and a cough suppressant. You are correct it's probably a virus but pneumonia after the age of 50 is a very dangerous situation.

Accepted Answer

Good for you for waiting out what may have started as a viral upper respiratory infection, but your symptoms are lasting longer than a typical viral syndrome, and the discolored discharge indicates probable bronchitis or sinusitis. See a dr (e g primary, ent, or urgent care) to get on an antibiotic. You may wish to use otc Guaifenesin and saline sinus rinse (e g neilmed) as well. Best wishes.

Accepted Answer

Most colds are viral in nature. In other words, they won't respond to antibiotics. However, shortness of breath shouldn't be ignored. While this may be reactive airway disease (variant of asthma), you'll need to go see your doctor for diagnosis ; management (inhalers). Headache ; weakness (where?) can be a sign of not getting enough oxygen (or other condition). So don't delay. Go see your doc!

Monitor for fever, chills and increasing cough. For your sinus pressure, nasal saline rinses are advised and may relieve your headache.

Question 10

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.
