Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having upper respiratory tract infection (sinusitis and pharyngitis).
So better to follow these steps for symptomatic relief.
1. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
2. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day. Do steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
3. Take antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs.
4. Take broad spectrum antibiotic like levofloxacin or azithromycin.
5. Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid hard to chew food.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
