General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to upper respiratory tract viral infection. Taking antihistamines like cetrizine ( zyrtec ) once daily , acetaminophen and nasal decongestant like phenylephrine will be helpful. You can also take chewable vitamin c. Take tea with lemon and honey also. You should also take proper rest and take adequate fluids. If no improvement after 3 days then go for blood and urine routine examination.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
