Hi,

I have gone through your query. From your history it seems to an Upper respiratory tract infection. Symptomatic treatment will help you temporary. You will require a course of antibiotic like Levofloxacin 500mg twice daily or azithromycin 500 mg once daily. Instead of Claritin D you should take Monticope (montelukast and Levocetrizine). You can continue with your thyroid medications.


Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
