Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Sorry for the delay in my response.

Based on your symptoms I could assume that you might be suffering from viral cold.

If there is no fever stop Paracetamol
Start steam inhalations with eucalyptus oil in it.
Also can take one Tab SUMOCOLD in the night for three days if the dry cough and running nose persist.

In viral cold only symptomatic treatment would suffice.

Wish you good health

If you have anymore queries, please get back to me.
