Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Dear Ms

He is having likely suggestive of Acute Upper respiratory tract infection. The rash is likely to be due to allergic cold urticaria.

I would suggest you the following


1. Warm Saline Gargling: Add 2 spoons of salt to glass of lukewarm water and gargle 3-4 times a day
2. Anti-histamine like Cetirizine will be helpful to control the rash and cough
3. Decoction: 1 cup of milk+ 1 teaspoon turmeric+ 2 gm of ginger+ 10 leaves of tulsi( Holy basel if available) + 2 black pepper+ 2 spoon sugar, bring it to boil. Serve it hot to her, few sips at a time. To take it 4 times a day.
4. Steam inhalation for 15 minutes every session 4 times a day

5. Antipyretic like Paracetamol can be used for fever

6. Expectorant Cough syrup can be used


In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Wishing you happy and healthy life

Take Care

Best Regards
Dr Shobha Deepak
