I have a wet cough, secretions in my lungs, fever and nausea/hot flashes. Should I seek medical attention?

Hello Ma'am,

It is usually only recommended to see a doctor when the fever has been present for at least 4 days in adults (when flu-like symptoms are present).

In the meantime, rest, drinking plenty of water (to make secretions more fluid), using a product like Sinus Rinse™ twice a day, and taking Advil or Tylenol for aches and pains are recommended.

If the fever drops in less than 4 days, but the cough is still there in 3 weeks, you'll need to see a doctor.

It's virus season, and that may well be what's causing your symptoms right now. In such a case, time is your best ally 😊.

Happy day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
