Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of runny nose and flu which is due to poor immunity of your body and infection of sinuses leading to sinusitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid use of spicy, sharp oily and fried food substances. You should take diet rich in multivitamins. Apply mist humidifiers in room. You should take throat soothing agents. You should take combination of antibiotic Levofloxacin along with antihistamine such as Levocetirizine. You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get chest x-ray done along with pulmonary function tests done so as to detect level of infection and treatment can be started accordingly. You should do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
