Cold/ flu virus
I’ve been having a headache, sore throat, coughing and choking in the morning from mucus and phlegm in my throat. Finding it difficult to breathe in the morning as have to tense my body so that I’m not throwing up after coughing: the mucus is a thick yellow colour and this has been going on for 2 nearly 3 weeks!
You seem to be suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat and nose infection in this season. You may need to take antibiotics, cough syrups and steam inhalation for faster recovery
Next Steps
