What Causes Nose Congestion Along With Body Ache And Headache?

Hello my name is Shana and I am seeming to come down with a cold maybe even the flu. My nose is stuffy I am sneezing my body is aching and I have bad headaches. I also have found that I am not able to smell anything. I put perfume on today and spray deodorant and couldn t smell anything then I cook a grilled cheese with bacon and still nothing. I was able to smell yesterday and I still am able to taste things but I just can t smell anything... Is this something that sounds temporary or is there something I can do about it? Thank you so much for your time and I hope to hear back from you. Sincerely, Shaina Carney

Hello,

It looks like URTI (upper respiratory tract infection), may be of viral origin. Please drink plenty of water as fever causes dehydration and bed rest, if fever Dolo enough and for nasal congestion take Montec LC with Xylomist nasal drops. If the fever does not subside after 1 week, you need to do the blood investigations.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
