Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I would like to know what other symptoms do you have besides cold (nasal congestion and occasional febrile episodes).

Common flu infections usually lasts for few days. But since you seem to be suffering for more than 10 days it is advisable to see a doctor and confirm the cause of symptoms - allergies, sinus inflammation or other causes. A proper treatment can be planned as per the cause. Your doctor may order for blood test (hemogram) and X-ray PNS to derive the cause.

Hatric 3 is listed to contain good medicines to treat symptoms. You can continue using it until you see the doctor. I will also recommend steam inhalation 2-4 times in a day for additional benefits. Keep yourself warm and covered from cold weather. Avoid cold and refrigerated food / drinks.

Hope I was able to address your concern. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
