Is there a doctor in the house?

Question

I'm feeling really sick right now. My throat hurts and feels itchy. I feel lots of drainage from my nose to my mouth. My nose isn't extactly stuffed but almost. I also feel achey. I keep trying to spit out the drainage but I feel like its still there. I've had my tonsils removed a long time ago so I don't think its my throat but I'm not too sure. And my eyes are waterly a bit.

Anyone know what medicine I should take that I can purchase at CVS or Walgreens.

Or anything to do?

Please I feel like crap.

I just started feeling like this last night.
Got worst this morning.

Is it sinus or something?

Well thank you to whoever can help me.

Answer 1

You'll need some pain relievers, decongestants, rest and plenty of fluids.

For an accurate diagnosis and to possibly obtain antibiotics if you should need them, you should see a doctor.

However you might find you can get by if you take some time off from work or study and have some:
o paracetamol (acetaminophen)
o ibuprofen
o fluids - 8 cups of water per day
o buy some soluable aspirin, dissolve it and gargle it when you feel your throat hurting. If you don't swallow the aspirin you can do this pretty much as often as you like (so long as you aren't allergic to aspirin or something like that)

Answer 2

I feel the same way right now...and it started about three days ago...it turns out it was just a cold! Rest up, drink a lot of water or ginger ale and take vitamins! If you can't fall asleep at night because of the runny nose or itchy throat, just take some benadryl and you'll fall asleep in no time. Feel better!

Answer 3

Take yourself to a Free Clinic and pay no attention to the advice from the Quacks on this group.

Answer 4

See a doctor! It could just be a cold or allergy symptoms. If it's allergies, Benedryl Is what you need.Or some other form of antihistamene

Answer 5

tylenol----bubble gum flavored.
