What Causes Headache, Runny Nose And Pain All Over The Body?

My daughter is complaining about having a headache and in addition to that her eyes and nose are running. Said her body is also aching all over and when I took her temp it was 99.1. Do I treat this like allergies or a cold? What over the counter medication can I use. She is 13 years old and weigh about 130lbs. Thanks

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

The symptoms of headache, runny nose and eyes along with body pain and rise in temperature can be due to upper respiratory tract infection, also known as Common Cold..

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, you can also do antiseptic mouthwash gargles..
-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 as it boosts immunity..
-Do steam inhalations..
-Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
-Sip on warm water throughout the day..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
