Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

It will take some time to resolve. I would suggest you following things:
> Take levocetirizine one at night for 5 days.
> Take nasal decongestant spray with salt "Fluprednisolone:0.025mg/ml, Naphazoline:1.25mg/ml, Ephedrine:5mg/ml" . Put one puff in each nostril thrice a day for 3 days
> Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect.

AVOID:
> Chilled water
> Drinks
> Spicy food

Report to hospital if:
> Condition remain same after 2-3 days
> Any unusual symptom appears
> Condition deteriorates.
> There is difficulty in breathing.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
