Answered by Dr. Shanthi E (52 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Levocet-M

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It seems like you have an acute rhinitis.

For my patients with similar complaints, I would prescribe Tablet Levocet-M 5mg at bed time for 3 days. This would take care of the running nose and sneezing.

I would advise you to get the same medicine prescribed by your doctor.

Along with this, steam inhalation with Karvol plus nasocaps will help too.

Get well soon.

Brief Answer:
continue to take Dolo for 2 more days

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am sorry that you have developed fever now. Along with Levocet, I suggest you continue to take Dolo 650mg thrice daily after food. This would take care of the fever. Observe for 2 days. If your symptoms do not subside, then you may have to get a blood routine test done, and accordingly take antibiotics, if necessary.

Hope this helps.
