A member asked:

I have a stuffy nose, cough, with some sneezing, and yellow/gray phlegm. no body aches, doesn't bother me to lean forward/downward. cold or allergies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds like a cold: This sounds like a cold and possibly even a bacterial infection. Rest, drink a lot of liquids and you can use neti pot. If your symptoms are not improving in next 1-2 days or start to worsen see your doctor.
