Hi,
I suggest you to do steam inhalation daily. Then do warm salt water gargle and betadiene mouth rinse. Don't forget to do tongue scraping with tongue scraper after brushing. Have hot food. Don't take cold food stuffs for some days. Have lots and lots of hot water. Take azithromycin for 3 days. Stuffy nose steam inhalation is enough. It will be fine in few days or a weeks time.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rohit S Menon, Dentist
