Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain the symptoms of cough, congestion,
chest pain and body aches along with rash over the arms seems to be due to viral infection..
Taking Nyquil cannot alone be sufficient and you need to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a clinical evaluation and investigations like blood tests,
sputum culture, chest x ray as well as allergic tests can help in diagnosis and treatment cab e done accordingly..
In case if viral infection is ruled out it will resolve once the virus completes its cycle in body and in that case you can start taking symptomatic treatment like anti allergics like Levocetrizine, decongestants like
Phenylephrine, anti inflammatory painkiller like
Ibuprofen, warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room..
You can also cough supperssant like
Dextromethorphan and cough expectorant like Gueifenesin..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
You can apply steroid ointment over the rashes, do cool compresses and can also apply Calamine lotion..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
