Hello,
As per your clinical history, is concerned please follow like this -
1) Do warm saline gargle three times a day and take paracetamol for pain and fever and try to eat soft foods.
2) Do take antibiotic azithromycin to prevent secondary bacterial infection and for it, you need a prescription from your doctor.
Do follow lifestyle modifications like this-
1) Try to wash your hands thoroughly and frequently, especially after using the toilet, before eating, and after sneezing or coughing. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizers as an alternative to hand washing when soap and water aren't available.
2) Try to avoid sharing food, drinking glasses or utensils. A cough or sneeze into a tissue and throw it away.
3) Try to avoid drinking water outsides and try to avoid close contact with people who are sick.
4) Wear a filtering mask when cleaning to avoid inhaling dust or airborne particles from cleaning products.
5) Try to avoid smoking and try to avoid exposure to secondhand smoke.
6) Humidify your bedroom if the air is dry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
