Hi AAAA
Thanks for posting your query.
Do you have running nose/ cough/ sore throat?
If yes, then you are most likely suffering from acute flu fever (common cold).
In such case, you should consult with physician / ENT surgeon and should go for anti-inflammatory medicines, antibiotics (to prevent secondary bacterial infection), antihistaminics, and gargles 3 times in day (add pinch of salt in one glass of lukewarm of water).
Do you have photophobia, weakness in any part of body, neck stiffness?
If yes, then you are suffering from meningitis.
In such case, you should consult with physician/ neurologist and should go for spinal fluid examination.
In such case, you have to take complete antibiotic course.
Put your views also.
Get well soon,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
