Suggest Remedy For Nasal Congestion

hi, I returned on 12/23 from 10 days in Morocco. I came back with something respiratory. The cough is getting better, but still present and still have nasal congestion, but is now clear. Do I need to do anything further or just let it work its way out. Also, on our last day, I ate at a local fish market and had salad. My digestive system is a bit off, not like when I got sick in India, but off. Is there anything over the counter to help me work it out?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.

As per your complain it seems that you had an upper respiratory tract infection leading to cough and congestion and as it is viral in nature it runs its course and resolves on its own even without any medication..
As you are relieved of it now you need not to worry and as of now no medication is required..
In case if you get such symptoms again you can take decongestants oral as well as nasal drops, anti allergics and cough suppressants..
Warm saline gargles an steam inhalation can help..
As you ate fish that caused your digestive system off can be due to mild form of fish poisoning due to contaminated fish..
You can take antacids, proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole and H2 blocker like Ranitidine..
In case of loose motion Furazolidone can be taken..
Drink plenty of water and take a soft diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
