Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of cough and cold with rashes which are pointing towards upper respiratory tract infection leading to common cold, which can be caused by bacterial or viral infection. Need not to worry. Avoid hot, sharp , spicy food. Avoid intake of outside food. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may order test like throat swab test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis and rule out causes. Doctor may prescribe antibacterial amoxicillin or anti viral acyclovir depending upon the diagnosis along with decongestants. For now continue doing gargles and drink one spoon of honey mix with glass of lukewarm water. You should take steam inhalation along with vaporizers.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
