Brief Answer:
Paracetamol tablets and icing....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It would have been good if you had mentioned since when are you suffering with these symptoms.
Fever, body ache and lack of energy seems to be from viral infection. It will resolve spontaneously in few days. You can take paracetamol tablets 500mg whenever there is fever. In addition, I will also suggest vitamin supplements and encourage you to drink plenty of fluids.
As far as nasal swelling is concerned, from the picture I was hardly able to appreciate any concerning features. The swelling that you noticed perhaps may be due to minor inflammation. Icing it will prevent further worsening.
You should monitor the progress of symptoms for few days. If fever worsens or the nasal swelling worsens, you should consult a physician locally.
Hope this helps.
Regards
