Brief Answer:
Mostly upper respiratory tract infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for your information.

It seems like viral infection or upper respiratory tract infection.
I suggest you Cetrizine 5 mg twice a day for 3 days.
I also suggest you continue paracetamol 650 mg for fever and body pains.
If you are having continuous or high fever for 2 days then continue Mox twice a day for 3 days.
I also suggest you Nasoclear nasosaline drops, instill 2 drops in each nostril 4-6 times a day. Steam inhalation twice a day.
Avoid exposure to cold weather, dust and avoid eating cold food.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.

Thank you
