Brief Answer:
Not possible to give prescription on line.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

It is not possible to give prescriptions online. Depending on the location, some medicines are available over-the counter while others are available on prescription. I am not sure if the above medicines are available over the counter at your place but I would recommend it for you. I would suggest that you consult your physician and take the medicine as advised. You may consult ENT doctor.

Let me know if I can assist you further
