General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an upper respiratory tract infection.

It is probably a viral infection so there is no need of taking antibiotics. I suggest you to continue using Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day.

I suggest to take vitamin c supplements and drink a lot of liquids. If the symptoms continue you can consult your doctor for a physical examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
