Detailed Answer:
Hello, greetings!
Thanks for posting your query on hcm.

I have gone through your query. Looks like you are suffering from common cold or flu.
You may take tablet PARACETAMOL 500 mg for thrice a day for the headache.
For the cold, you can take an antihistamine like LEVOCETRIZINE twice a day for a 3 days.
For the nasal congestion, you may instill 2 drops of XYLOMETAZOLINE decongestant nasal drops thrice a day for a period of 5 days. Do not use this drop for more than 5 days.
Also, steam inhalation will help you immensely.
If you have any further doubts/ queries, you may get back to me.
Regards,
Dr. Sonia
