Hello Ma'am, I'm sorry to read about your troubles! You did well with Tylenol, it is the first line product for pain. For congestion and discharge, I strongly suggest nasal hygiene with a saline solution (Hydrasense, Sinus Rinse and others), which can be done as often as needed during the day, and at least 30 minutes before bedtime. By 'cleaning' the nasal secretions, we can reduce their backward flow, which often causes coughing. It's a little uncomfortable but it works wonders! I also suggest drinking lots of fluids, cold or hot, depending on your preference. However, if one or more of your symptoms persist for more than 7 days without improvement after its appearance, I suggest consulting a doctor so as not to delay the proper treatment, if any. In the meantime, I will remain available if you have any further questions! Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
