What Is The Treatment For Flu , Headache And Cold?

I think I have the flu and cold. It started Wednesday, and has continued to worsen. At the start, I took theraflu (both disolvable and liquid), a cold relief pill (with acetaminophan, dextromethorphan, guaifenesin, and phenylephrine), and Ibuprophen. I alternated them all carefully. I ran out of the cold pills, liquid theraflu, and ibuprophen, so today I went out to get Mucinex DM Maximum Strength and Oscillococcinum. After taking them, I felt a lot worse. I recently took 650 mg of acetaminophan to help the pain. It's helping a little.

My symptoms are fever, headache, muscle ache, integumentary pain, soar throat, excessive coughing, and lung pressure.

Please help me in anyway you can.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have flu, headache and cold which is because of increased susceptibility of getting infected because of compromised immunity which is leading to common cold. Need not to worry about it. You should use anti inflammatory medications such as Levocitriziine along with antibiotic such as Levofloxacin. Avoid exposure to allergens such as dust. Take meftal P for fever. Take diet rich in multivitamins along with vitamin C pellet to booster immunity. You should use mist humidifiers in room. Visit ENT specialist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get examined. Start treatment after prescription. You should take probiotics in diet.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
