Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are mostly having viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI).
You should follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
2. Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
3. Avoid hard to chew food.
4. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
5. Take levocetrizine and paracetamol combination twice daily.
You will mostly improve with all these in 4-5 days. If not improving then consult doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
