<human>: Hi, For the past week I ve been feeling unwell. It began with a sore throat, fatigue and clogged ears. Whilst my throat has cleared, my ears are still clogged and I m still feeling tired. This morning I coughed up a solid piece of orange phlegm. I m now worried i have a viral infection. Are you able to determine the extent of my illness and most effective ways to treat my case? Many thanks, Daniel
<bot>: HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Viral infections of the upper respiratory tract can result in different symptoms such as those you are experiencing. The symptoms can last 1 week to 10 days. There are medications available that may help. These are available over the counter. Treatment involves rest and fluids. In addition to this you may need a bucolic to help break up any mucus in the chest. Examples of Multics are bipolar, ambrosial, Mucomyst, guaifenesinI hope this helps
