Brief Answer:
Upper respiratory tract infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello... I understand your concern and it seems to be a simple viral upper respiratory tract infection.

My suggestions -

1. Syrup Benadryl 5 ml three times a day for 3 to 5 days.

2. Tablet Paracetamol 500mg If temperature is more than hundred every 6 hourly once.

3. Warm salt water gargling 3 or 4 times a day 30 minutes before food.

All the above medicines are over the counter please.

Best regards - Dr Sumanth Amperayani
