Suggest Remedy For Cough And Blocked Nose
Question: From yesterday morning I am suffering from uncomfortable throat and blocked nose. I also feel like somebody is pressing my head (not headache exactly), not severe. I am getting cough (little) as well. From today morning I have little body pains. Please suggest me?
Brief Answer:
Steam inhalation + antihistamine + analgesic
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The symptoms are consistent with upper respiratory infection - ?sinusitis / pharyngitis. It could be from a viral cause.
I would suggest that you try:
1. Steam inhalation - atleast 3-5 times a day.
2. Antihistamine like cetrizine 10mg once at night.
3. Mild analgesic like tab dolo 650mg twice / thrice a day.
Besides these drink plenty of fluids preferably warm water along with fruits / vegetables. Watch out the progress of symptoms. If you develop a high grade fever or if the symptom worsen, you need to consult a doctor. Antibiotics may be necessary.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Regards
