It's Viral Infection.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for posting your query.

It's Upper respiratory tract infection and most of the times it's due to Virus which shall resolve on it's own in 3-4 days .

I recommmend you to drink hot water , take steam inhalation , avoid oily and non veg food , avoid Citrus fruits.

You can use paracaetamol for fever and Montair-LC for Sneezing for 2 days .

But do tell me since how many days you are having these symptoms ?

Hi

Thanks for the follow up.

It still seems viral. Just follow the advise given in previous reply.

If symptoms persists even after 2 days you may require antibiotic like Azithromycin. In that case get a prescription of Azithromycin from a doctor.

Any clarification feel free to ask.
