Hello,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I would make suggestions to you as follows:

1. Were I treating you, I would suggest you a expectorant type of cough syrup with an antihistamine.

2. I would suggest you to take plenty of water and warm fluids during day.

3. I would also suggest you warm saline gargles and steam inhalation for 5-7 days which will help.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health ahead.

Thank you & Regards.
