General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to Respiratory tract infection.

Investigations like complete blood count and X-ray of chest & paranasal sinus will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.

Management includes:
1. Steam inhalation.
2. Anti-tussive preparation for symptomatic control of cough.
3. Antibiotics depending upon culture & sensitivity reports.
4. Antihistamine preparations can also be used to provide symptomatic relief.
5. Maintain adequate hydration & a healthy balance diet.
6. Also make sure that you are well protected from cold, dust & other allergens.

Your symptoms will be relieved with this.
So, kindly consult your General Physician & start treatment as advised.
Wish you good health & a speedy recovery.
Take care.
