Brief Answer:
URTI, rest, steam inhalation, over the counter medication, you will be fine
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
Based on the information you have upper respiratory tract infection. Post nasal drip is also noticed in URTI.
Most cases of upper respiratory infection are caused by viruses and therefore, require no specific treatment and are self-limited.
I would have suggested for rest for a day or two. Increased fluid intake and steam inhalation two to three times a day for two to three day.
I would have treated you with a tab ricofast, three times a day for three days. These are helpful in decreasing nasal congestion and secretion. These are over the counter medication, can consider them. You will be fine in few days.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely.
