Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is more likely in your wife's case.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Tell her to drink plenty of fluids orally and keep herself hydrated.
2. Tell her to avoid oily and spicy food, avoid junk food, avoid hard to chew food.
3. Tell her to do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
4. Give her levocetrizine and paracetamol combination twice daily. This combination is available over the counter.
She will mostly improve with all these in 2-3 days.
If not improving then consult doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.
