Suggest Treatment For Severe Cold, Cough, Mild Fever, Blocked Left Nostril And Body Pain
Question: Suffering from severe cold and cough. Have had mild fever. Left nostril is completely blocked and right one is open but there is a lot of irritation. Body pain is there.
Brief Answer:
can add ibuprofen or naproxen, topical decongestant
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The sinarest contains a mixture of pain medication, antihistamine and decongestant.
You can use a topical decongestant to help resolve the additional congestion in the left nostril eg otrivine or normal saline drops. Either of these would help
The paracetamol would help with the pain but you can add ibuprofen or naproxen to help with additional relief.
If you have a cough then you can add robitussin to the medication, it is a cough suppressant.
Fluids and rest in addition to the above, would be helpful.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

adding another pain killer should be enough for now

The burning and irritation of the eyes can occur with the cough/cold, the ibuprofen or naproxen should help with that.
Adding another pain killer ( such as the ibuprofen or naproxen), should be enough for now unless there are other symptoms.
