Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

Most probably this is Common Cold. I would recommend you to try following:
> Use cetirizine one at night for 5 days for itch.
> Take montelukast once daily for one month. research has shown that it reduces allergic response.
> Take amoxicilin/clavulanic acid 625mg thrice a day for 5 days
> Take acetaminophen one tablet after every 6hrs for fever.
> Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it then perform gargles (mouth wash) with it thrice a day for at least 2-3 days. It will give soothing effect.

Report to hospital if:
> Condition remain same after 2-3 days
> Any unusual symptom appears
> Condition deteriorates.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health
