Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of fever,dry cough and headache and you are taking medication for that is due to upper respiratory tract infection. I would suggest you to consult pulmonologist and get blood test , throat swab test done. You should get an x ray of the chest and pulmonary function tests done as well. You should take antibiotics along with decongestants and mucolytic agents. You should avoid hot, sharp and spicy foods. You should take expectorants. Steam inhalation is very effective for you. You should use throat lozenges and go rinses with warm saline water. Take diet ricjh in vitamin B12.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
