Cold and fever

2017-03-09 15:34:27
I get a sore throat every time I drink something cold. It develops into a running nose and finally into a fever. It all cures by itself in 4 days. However I also have a headache and feel very tired in these 4 days. This problem is for the past 2 years. Why is this happening? I have a running nose now. What are the cures?

You have some stubborn germs hiding inside the nooks and crannies of your nose, known as Paranasal Sinuses. This type of infection is known as  Rhino-Sinusitis. Whenever you have something cold, the germs begin to party and multiply rapidly causing all the symptoms in nose and throat!
Next Steps
You need to meet an ENT Specialist and get a CT scan of your nose and paranasal sinuses. This will guide your doctor to treat you appropriately.
