Question by rachelxelite: Chest Congestion No Fever?
I have chest congestion, and loose my voice quite often, but i feel fine other than coughing up phlegm and the runny/stuffy nose, and sinus drainage, no worn down, body aches or anything, occasionally my eyes do bother me like itchyness and dry. I believe this is allergies, i have had no fever or anything but my mucus is sometimes a nasty green,yellow or brown. Is that normal for allergies, and what are some remedies or relief offered, as i am allergic to gaufenicin.

Answer by C A Another possibility that I think is likely based on your symptoms is chronic bronchitis. You don’t usually get a fever with bronchitis and it will cause you to cough up yellow or green phlegm. It also causes chest congestion. It may be related to allergies and/or a sinus infection that causes you to have mucus building up in your chest creating a breeding ground for bacteria, then you get sick. I would really strongly suggest going to see the doctor, preferably an ear, nose, and throat doctor who can properly diagnose the problem and help you treat it. I wouldn’t suggest just trying home remedies at this point as it sounds like you have been sick off and on for quite awhile.
Question by laurie67: Help! What can I do to relieve nasty persistent sympt – sinus congestion, cough, ear pressure? Home remedy id?
I was on antibiotics 2 weeks ago as the sore throat turned sinus congestion turned chest congestion and cough was not going away. Doc said likely infection and I went on 1 week of antibiotics. I felt great – until 24 hours after the last pill – symptoms stsrted al over again. Maybe its a virus or bactiria mutated…but does anyone have remedies they have tried that could help? I have used many over the counter medicines and immune booster types of drops and teas. Also use humidifier at night. Thanks you for your ideas!

Answer by jandy get sinus or throat culture before next round of antibiotics, Home remedy is chicken soup/ orange juice, Warm saline nasal rinses, can use McNeil Sinus rinse, has salt and pinch of baking soda so it won’t burn. Nyquil, has diphenhydramine or Benadryl in it, will dry you up. salt water gargles, tea’s, bland foods. Vit C/ Zinc 100mg, stay hydrated. could be virus, it’s been going around, so wash your hands, keyboard and cellphone, change toothbrush when well. doubt bacteria mutated, but, you might not have had the right antibiotic and doc should have cultured you first, they are the first ones to not want to treat sinus inf with antibiotics and then they do it anyway. The docs need to follow their own advice and shut up and start being truthful with the public. He shouldn’t have guessed, cause that’s exactly how resistant bacteria works. he probably gave you 5 day Z pack and it killed off enough staph or upper resp flora, try some yogurt or Kefir, tangy yogurt from health food store, to restore gut bacteria or eat green vegies for the same effect.
