Dear Patient,
The symptoms of productive cough, running nose, and cold lasting for 7 days may indicate:
1. Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (URTI): Viral infections are common and typically self-limiting but can persist.
2. Allergic Rhinitis: Allergies can cause persistent cold-like symptoms.
3. Secondary Bacterial Infection: If the cough and mucus have turned thick or yellow-green, it may indicate bacterial involvement.
Recommendations:
Take steam inhalation 2-3 times a day to relieve nasal congestion.
Use a saline nasal spray for nasal clearing.
Consider over-the-counter medications like levocetirizine or montelukast for allergies if suggested by your doctor.
For persistent or worsening symptoms, consult a physician for antibiotics or further treatment.
