Hi XXXXXXX ,
Thanks for the query.

I have read your query , seen your picture , reviewed your medications and understand your concern.

After reading your clinical history it appears that you are most probably having upper respiratory tract infection.

No need to worry about cancer since you have no addiction .Swine flu less likely since no fever & headache.

If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would advice you
Antiseptic Mouth Wash betadine gargle twice daily ,
Antihistaminic levocetirizine at night &
combination of Paracetamol + Ibuprofen like tab combiflam twice daily after meal .

Continue cepodem AZ once daily .

You can discuss this with your treating doctor.

Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Regards.
