What should I do?

25-year-old woman5 years ago

Hello, I have had a sore throat for five days now, I have secretions and my sinuses are blocked. I also feel very hot or very cold. Yesterday, I realized that I had a white button on my tongue and today I discovered a second one. This worries me a bit. I took my temperature under my arm and it is 36.6.

Hello Ma'am,

Would it be possible for you to take your temperatures by mouth instead? It has a habit of being much more reliable.

Also, exactly how long have you had a fever?

How has your condition evolved?

I am almost symptom free except for a lot of secretions and very stuffy sinuses. I have also had a hacking cough for almost 2 weeks. At what point should I be concerned, as I have had pneumonia before ...

In the absence of a fever, you start to worry when the cough has been present for more than 3 weeks usually.

If you have pneumonia, your body will react very strongly and will probably cause you to run a fever.

For secretions and clogged sinuses, I recommend using a product like Sinus Rinse™ twice a day for at least 5 days.

Please get well soon,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
