[|Human|] I have been sick for three days and I think I should go to the doctor however I know viral infections are not worth going to the doctor for because you cant get any perscription for it. Runny nose Head congestion no chest congestion sore throat scratchy voice. NO temperature.
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for the query. As per your complaint and presentation of symptoms you are definitely suffering from Viral Throat Infection and although there are no direct medications to kill virus, but medicines can be advised to relieve the bothersome symptoms. For congestion, you can take decongestants like Pseudopod Chat Doctor. Do warm saline gargles for soothing the throat. In case if there is throat pain and generalized body aches Ibuprofen can be taken. Steam Inhalations and using a cool mist humidifier can help. Valsava Maneuver: To open blocked ears due to cold take a deep breathe and then gently pinch the nostrils and then try to gently release the air from nose itself. A pressure created will open up the ears.
