A member asked:

I've had a funny cold now for a few days and it's the middle of summer green thick mucus in the nose and cough and my ears feel block how can i relive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

URI: Viral upper respiratory tract infections generally run their course in 7 to 10 days. If symptoms persist beyond that a bacterial sinus and/or bronchial infection may be present that require antibiotic therapy. Until then irrigate your nasal passages with warm salt water to promote drainage and, if necessary, use a decongestant nasal spray for only a short time. A mild cough suppressant syrup helps.
