What illness could I have?

Question

A week ago, I had a little cold and allergies with a dry cough. The allergies got better with my meds, but my cough got worse, now it's rattly and very painful in my chest. Monday I had a little bit of a sore throat, but that went away. Last night I started feeling pressure and pain in my sinuses and not I have yellow mucus from my nose and am coughing up yellow-green phlegm. What could it be? I am seeing the doctor tomorrow, but I wondered what I might have and what I might be put on to treat it.

Answer 1

I'm not doctor, but I've raised 3 kids...and it sounds to me like you have a combination of sinusitis, bronchitis, and maybe even a touch or pneumonia.  Go to the doctor for sure....the yellow/green gooooook means you have infection of some sort and need an antibiotic.  Drink lots of juices, and take it easy till things get better. Drink some hot tea.........and some chicken soup.  Sounds corny..but it does work!  Good luck!

Answer 2

Generally, a cold will run its course if 7 to 10 days so it sounds as if it has morphed into a secondary infection - time to go to the Doctor.

Answer 3

could be Ebola ?
