Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have flu and dry cough along with malaria which is due to compromised immunity of your body. It seems that you have developed chest infection/ chronic upper respiratory tract infection. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles. You shoukd take cough expectorants. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic medication. Continue with your antimalarial drugs as well. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get chest X-ray done and start treatment after proper diagnosis have been made. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
