General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello
You are having cough, sneezing, fever, puffiness eyes , so these symptoms may be due to these reasons , these include:
1 Acute bronchitis or cold or flu either due to viral infection , so take tylenol ( paracetamol 650 mg ) twice in day . Since you are also having cold and coughing so take dextromethophan+chlopheniramine +menthol syrup 1 TSF twice in day .
2 Acute pharyngitis is another most common cause of such symptoms .
Take above mentioned treatment with levofloxacin 500 mg once in day for 5 days .However , there are so many other reasons of such symptoms but you may respond with above mentioned treatment .
If fever still present more than 5-7 days then consult a physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
