[|Human|] Hi, Ive had cold symptoms for 2 weeks now and have this like sinus thing going on.  Ive been taking Alka Seltzer plus, zicam and eating orange and mucinex.  When I blow my nose mucus comes out and its not clear and this has been going on for 2 weeks.  I understand that as long as mucus comes out Im ok.  I dont feel bad physically just Im tired of blowing my nose.  At night it wakes me up about 3x and now Im waking up coughing but dont have a sore throat.  My voice comes in and out, especially if I speak longer than 3 minutes or less but doesnt hurt.  At night I have my humidifier in my bedroom.  What can I do?
[|AI|]  Hello, I completely do understand that you are worried about your condition. Since you have said that you have cough and congestion for about a 2 weeks now, this requires complete evaluation to come to the root cause. I would have considered the following for a patient in my clinic with these conditions: 1) is it accompanied by fever, chills, rigors 2) is there any chest pain3) is it a productive cough I.e. with sputum, the color of sputum, blood in sputum4) a chest x-ray and sputum culture test is recommended. In your case if all the reports were normal with none of the above symptoms, then I would have prescribed you: 1) anti histamines and decongestants which you are already taking.* It would be better for you if you did steam inhalation thrice a day along with salt water gargle twice a day. This will clear your sinuses.* Chat Doctor.  You shall be fine soon. Do not worry.* Knowing that you are having disturbed nights, I suggest you to undergo radiological examination and sputum tests and contact back so that further treatment is advised to you in the best way. Hope this helps. Contact me for any further queries. Thanks for referral!
