Hi,


Welcome to HCM.

I understand that you do not want to waste time but you have to continue medications and take rest for faster recovery.

I am suspecting viral fever which will reduce within a week to 10 days.

Continue the fever medication and you can take Zedex cough syrup two tsps thrice daily for a week.

This will control the cough and also remove phlegm.

Bed rest is recommended.

If your fever and cough does not reduce after three days, you need to get a chest xray to rule out lower respiratory tract infection.

Thanks.
