Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Celestamine is a combination of betametasone (steroid) and dexochlorpheniramine (anti histamine). It can help with your symptoms.
You can consider adding a decongestant to further help with the nasal symptoms eg phenylephrine.
If you get a wet cough, a mucolytic would help to break up the mucus eg bisolvan, mucomyst or guaifenesin.
Fluids and rest are also very important.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
