Hello madam and thanks for the query,

It is possible that you are down with a cold.

Frequently colds are due to viral infections hence treatment will be symptomatic.

You can take tablet cetirizine 10 mg every 24 hours for 2 -3 days.

Drink lots of water to avoid dehydration.

Avoid airconditining and fan.

See your doctor soon.

If the symptoms persisit for more than 5 days then you may need a course of antibiotics preferably of the penicillin group.

Get plenty of rest and eat nutricious food.
