Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Your history and symptoms are suggestive of upper respiratory tract infection , because of which you are having these constitutional symptoms. As you are having these symptoms for last 5 days on treatment also sometimes it may take few more days to control the symptoms.

If the symptoms are not improving in spite of the treatment you may need Lab investigations like CBC, sputum examination and Chest X ray. This will help to identify the problem and to treat the condition.

For the present condition I would suggest you to follow
1.Steam inhalation with Vapocaps
2.Oral antibiotics like Tab Bactoclav, 625 mg, twice daily for five days.
3.Oral Antihistamines.
Thank you.
