Brief Answer:
Kindly tell details about your symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
I also feel that amoxyclav 625 may be unnecessary. Its an antibiotic and should not be prescribed for common cold, flu and allergies.
Kindly let me know details about your symptoms, so that I am better able to help.
Paracetamol is for fever and should not be taken in absence of fever.
Tusq D alone may be continued for dry cough. Avoid any dust, polluted air or any other allergen.
Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
Steam inhalation will help
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Since tusq d alone is not helping, you can add Dabur Honitus syrup which is soothing to throat.
Steam inhalation will also help.
Since you have already started antibiotic amoxyclav, you can continue it for 3 days.
Paracetamol is not needed, since there is no fever.
Since it started with fever, it will probably get better in 5-6 days time.

I am still not recovered . the cold problem is still there and like body temperature rises to 100° some times in a day .
Brief Answer:
Get tested
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Since its been more than 5 days, I suggest that you get blood test done called complete blood count. It may be helpful in suggesting something.
If its viral, it does take 5-10 days to recover.
