This illness might lead to malaria, fever and all other infections.

After carrying out some research, our medical crew get to know that ;

Nasal congestion and nasal discharge usually signal the beginning of a viral infection. The mucous is usually clear for the first few days, cloudy for several more, and then clear at the end of the cold. Any mucous that has been in the nose or throat for longer than one day (expressed by a deep cough or good nose blow) is usually a cloudy yellow or green color. Enzymes that are a part of your immune system cause the mucus to change color. This is not a sign of bacterial infection or that antibiotics are needed. It is a normal part of having a viral upper respiratory infection. Congestion is usually the worst on days two to six of the illness. The most common causes of nasal congestion are viral or bacterial infections.

Cough usually begins shortly after the congestion starts. Most coughs represent the body’s effort to protect your airway. When mucous slides down your windpipe from your nose, it stimulates a cough reflex that tries to keep the mucous from going into your lungs. Babies are not very efficient coughers, so they tend to have more difficulty clearing their airway. They have particular difficulty doing so if they are lying down. For this reason, cough is usually worse at night. Most babies come into the office on days three to five because this is when the coughing begins keeping everyone up at night. Sleeping upright can improve coughing. Severe cough, fever, and fast breathing warrant an office visit.

Sore throats are usually caused by viruses (~85%). The rest are typically caused by bacteria called group A streptococcus, “strep throat”. A sore throat accompanied by headache, abdominal pain, chills, fever, pus on the tonsils, or a red, sandpaper-like rash might be a “strep throat” and needs a confirmatory throat swab test and subsequent antibiotic treatment. Sore throats caused by viruses usually start to improve after several days and are usually gone by day six or seven of illness. Blisters in the mouth or throat are almost always caused by viruses. Ibuprofen or a benadryl-maalox 1:1 mix (gargle and spit-out 3-4x/day) can usually help. Consult us concerning the appropriate dose.

Fever can mark the beginning days of a viral infection. Usually, fever caused by a virus resolves after two to three days, but can last up to one week. Older children can be observed for a day or two if there is no obvious source of fever (i.e. burning with urination, ear pain, trouble breathing, strep throat). Younger children need to be seen sooner if fever should occur. For example, a child less than three months of age with a temperature of 100.4 or more rectally, should be discussed with a doctor immediately. If fever persists in any child for longer than two days, lasts for longer than two days after seeing us in our office, or returns later in the illness, the child should be reexamined or discussed over the telephone to be certain that something else is not prolonging the fever such as a secondary bacterial infection of the ear, lungs, or sinuses.

If a child has day and night time cough and nasal discharge that lasts longer than ten days without any signs of improvement, they should be evaluated for a bacterial sinusitis that might be prolonging the symptoms. However, of patients with symptoms lasting 2 weeks or longer, 80% will NOT need antibiotics as the illness is still an uncomplicated viral infection.

Chest congestion is not only uncomfortable and unpleasant, but can cause hazardous health issues like bronchitis or pneumonia if not cleared up.

Eat spicy foods, citrus fruits, garlic, and ginger for easy chest congestion relief.

Try garlic and lime soup. Both ingredients can help to clear congestion. Add soda crackers to the mix to help even more. OR,

Add juice from 3 lemons to a cup of very hot water.

Crush some garlic (1- 2). Add this to the water.
Add some salt and a lot of crushed black pepper.
Gulp it all down and you will instantly feel better.

And lastly try to take hot liquids, hot tea ,hot water etc.

If symptoms do not improve with any of these methods, inquire with your doctor about an antibiotic shot, nasal spray, pills or prescription vitamin therapy to clear up stubborn or deep chest congestion. As the old adage goes, it's better to be safe than sorry.
