Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having cough, headache and fever is because you are suffering from viral infection. It could be due to bacterial infection / upper respiratory tract infection as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get complete examination done. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with decongestants You should go for blood and sputum tests. You should give antipyretics for fever relief such as calpol,paracetamol or adol suppositories acetaminophen. Gargle with saline water. Rantac and Medler is a safe combination. You should take steam inhalation. Use mist humidifiers in room. If fever increases do tepid sponging as well with cold water and take throat lozenges as well. Take multivitamin tablets.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
