Hi,

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from upper respiratory tract infection, also known as common cold and the symptoms of cold and fever is due to it. As it is a viral infection it will resolve once the virus will complete its cycle in human body. As of now you can start with supportive treatment to relieve the symptoms like:

- Gargle with a warm saline solution that is by mixing 1 teaspoon salt in a glass of water and warm it to make a lukewarm solution.

- Take a combination of decongestant like Phenylephrine, mucolytic like Ambroxol and anti allergic Levocetrizine and another combination of Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen.

- Take cough expectorant containing Gueifenesin and cough suppressant containing Dextromethorphan.

- Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily.

- Do steam inhalations.

- Avoid spicy and chilled foods.

- Sip on warm water throughout the day.

- Do warm compresses over chest.

Hopefully the symptoms will resolve within a week and if it worsen consult a general physician and get evaluated.

Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks and regards,
Dr. Honey Nandwani Arora
