been experiencing dry eyes for about 3-4 days. started sneezing last night. woke up this am with stuffy/runny nose, headache & sore throat on 1 side.

Question

I have a sore throat which just started today, a headache i've had for a week, and a runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing.I've got green snot today?

Answer 1

Dry eyes runny nose: No fever? Sounds like seasonal allergies. An antihistamine may help. Symptomatic treatment like steam, hot tea and acetaminophen can be given. Could also be a cold.

Answer 2

See MD, Stop Advil (ibuprofen): Sounds like you have already done enough watching and waiting. Go to your physician for an examination to check for disc injury and other problems. Over the counter analgesics, physical therapy, massage therapy, yoga and acupuncture may help. Initiall cold, then warm compresses after a day or two. If not resolving, i send my patients for x-ray, mri, and referral to ortho and/or pain clinic.

Answer 3

See your doctor: Advil (ibuprofen) can irritate the stomach, leading to gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. Heartburn symptoms should be a warning to stop the advil and to seek the help of your family doctor or internist. Additionally, he or she can also evaluate you for the back symptoms, making sure it is not a more serious issue.

Answer 4

Need Testing: Sounds like some sort of electrolyte(minerals in your blood like sodium, potassium or calcium) disturbance. You need to see a doctor to get this sorted out asap.

Answer 5

May be fibromyalgia: There are lots of issues here and when your physician will look at all of these there are major topics to be evaluated. Are there tender myofascial (soft tissue) sites when you are touched? The eye twitches weakness and aching suggest there may be a sleep disturbance that needs evaluation. Need to clarify whether these are migraine or muscle contraction headaches:fibromyalgia fits.

Answer 6

Sounds Systemic: You need a complete workup consisting of labs(blood work) a good physical examination and a careful history. Although this sounds a lot like fms, I am concerned about the systemic issues such as muscle weakness which could be associated with certain tumors (eaton-lamber syndrome). Also paget's disease is another possibility.You need a complete workup. Fms is very treatable if that is your problem.

Answer 7

Not normal: Definitely needs to be evaluated by your doctor. Difficulty breathing does not really go with gynecological issues. I would start with your pcp for that then see obgyn for the rest, .

Answer 8

Yes: It is cymbalta, (duloxetine) u should stop it first.

Answer 9

More likely Cymbalta: I would try stopping Cymbalta first

Answer 10

RICE: Rest, apply ice, compression and ease off that leg. With time (1-2 weeks) and limited activity, may help you regain your leg function back. If it persists, see your doctor.

Answer 11

Do gentle stretching: It does not sound serious at this time, but you will need time to heal. Gentle warm massage and range of motion/stretching and take it easy to allow healing. We don't heal as fast as those youngsters. Motrin/aleve may help with inflammation/pain. Avoid high impact/weight bearing exercises until healed. If not better after 2 wks, consult doc. Good luck.
