Explained below..

Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
Thanks for writing back,


From the description you have provided, you seem to be having upper respiratory infection.

If I was your treating physician, I would suggest you to do the following:
- Take T. AZEE 500mg once daily for 3 days, as this is an antibiotic, you may require prescription from a doctor.

- T. Cetrizine 5mg twice daily for 3 days

- Take Syp. TUSQ-D 5ml twice daily to treat cough

- Exercise warm saline gargle 2-3 times a day. You may also consider doing Betadine gargle in normal water.

- Consume warm foods. Avoid anything spicy so as to prevent further throat irritation.

- You may continue to take T. DOLO 650mg 2-3 times a day if you get fever symptoms.

I hope this helps,

Please feel free to discuss further or else kindly close and share your positive feedback,

Regards

Brief Answer:
Levocet 5mg

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing back,

Sorry for the delay in replying,

Both are of the same variants, the only difference is that levocetirizine has lesser sedative effect than the other.
You may take Levocet 5 mg twice daily for 3 days.


I hope this clarifies,

Please feel free to discuss further,
