Orange/dark yellow phlegm, really bad taste when coughing, combined with headache.

[bonden]

It all started with a really sore throat which made it hard to swallow, then the fever, loss of appetite and mild coughing appeared. After 1 week, I lost my voice for 3 days, then it somewhat came back but I've gotten a really bad headache which I need medications so I can comprehend with the headache. The fever is still here and my throat has gone really sore again and my coughing is really bad, sometimes I cough up orange/dark yellow phlegm and it gives a really bad taste. To top it off its so bad at night, I need sleeping pills to calm down and actually sleep.

My doctor said it will go away in a few days.

Any help would be appreciated!
