Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from viral infection and it can be due to upper respiratory tract infection commonly known as Common Cold or Influenza commonly known as Flu..
As both these are Viral infections, they are generally self limiting and resolves in a week to ten days as the virus completes its cycle..
You need supportive treatment in these cases to relieve symptoms..
You can start taking Tylenol for fever, Ibuprofen to reduce pains and aches, take Levocetrizine for cough and sneezing, decongestants like Phenylephrine to reduce congestion, mucolytics to relieve cough like Ambroxol, cough suppressants containing Dextromethorphan or Gueifenesin..
Do warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room..
You can suck throat lozenges, chew Vitamin C pellet and drink warm water..
Saline nasal irrigations can help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
