Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX welcome to health care magic forum.
I am Dr Aslam here to help you.
As you describe,it seems like you are suffering from an upper respiratory tract infection.Little laziness is common with any infection in our body.
It can be well treated with antibiotics and anti-histaminics for a few days.
For my patients with similar symptoms,I usually give antibiotics like azithromycin/amoxicillin+clavulonate(if not allergic to),along with paracetamol and anti-histaminics like levocetirezine for 5-7 days.Your doctor will guide you in this.
Also,avoid dusty/cold atmosphere.Avoid cold drinks.Do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day.
Giving adequate rest to body,and having a healthy diet with fruits and veges will speed up recovery.
If you have further questions,I will be happy to help.
Wishing a faster cure,Thank you.

Brief Answer:
You got the correct prescription.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
That is nice.What your doctor has given you is enough for this.
You need not worry.It will come down in less than 2 days.
Also note that,chlorpheniramine can cause some sedation,which most individuals tolerates and will not find it difficult.If you gets disturbed much,you can discuss this with your doctor and get it changed to another anti histaminic with little sedation.
If you have no further questions,you can close the discussion and rate the answer.
Again wishing you faster recovery,Thank you.
