Hi , Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum .

After reading your clinical history it appears that you are having upper respiratory tract infection.

If I were your treating doctor , I would advice
Plenty of fluids ,
Steam Inhalation twice daily,
mucolytic syrup &
Antihistaminic levocetirizine + Montelukast combination .

Certainly above treatment will give you much relief but if relief is not upto satisfaction level then consultation with your ENT doctor will become essential.

Hope this helps , Thanks.
