Hello,
Thank you for your query to DoctorSpring.com
From the description of your symptoms it appears in most likelihood to be a common cold (probably viral) which is extremely common during this season. Symptomatic treatment is sufficient.
Mucinex (guaifenesin) is an appropriate choice for your cough.
For the nasal congestion I would recommend, either an oral decongestant. Options include, Zyrtec-D, Clarinex-D. If you record a fever, take an acetaminophen 250 mg as required, but do not exceed more than 1 pill every 6 hours.
Colds usually persist for 3 to 10 days, although clinical illness may last as long as two weeks. Therefore I would advise you to wait out the period unless your fever is persistently above 100.4 F or the color of your sputum changes color or there is an exacerbation of your asthma. In any of the above, please visit the physician a dose of antibitoics will be required.
Flu vaccination can keep you from getting sick from flu. But it does not mean you cannot get the flu following a flu shot since not all possible strains of the flu causing virus are covered in the shot, only the most common. A flu shot is recommended because it may make your illness milder if you do get sick and also can reduce the risk of more serious flu outcomes, like hospitalizations.
Hope this helps, feel free to discuss further

My question was just now sent to my email, 24 hours later. Since it took so long I went to my local clinic. I have h3n2 flu and bronchitis. Is there any way I could get a refund as I expected a quicker response.


Hello,
I have forwarded your request to the support staff. You will soon get an email.
Your consult was replied in 7 hours and we understand that you couldn't wait that long. 80% of the GP consults are replied within a couple of hours and the rest within 8 hours. Specialist consults may take longer - 80% of all specialist are replied within 8 hours. We prefer Doctors who also have busy private practices, but their experience comes at the cost of a bit of delay.
Wish you a great year ahead and get well soon.
Thank you,
Regards
In-house Physician
