A member asked:

I have a question i have a fever sore throat and i sometimes cough up mucus what could this be and how can i treat it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cold/flu: Those are classic signs of a cold or flu. If so you can treat the symptoms with any cold/flu over the counter medicine and it should resolve within 1 to 2 weeks tops. If it has lasted longer than that then you should see a doctor for an evaluation.
