Suggest Medication For Body Pain,throat Pain And Frequent Cough

HI, I'm worried because for the past 3 days I've had what seems to be the symptoms of a flu, I had a fever this morning, my body aches, head hurts, when I swallow my throat hurts, constant cough, and now my nose won't stop bleeding. Should I take this serious and go the emergency room?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your all symptoms are suggestive of viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI).
But nose bleeding is something which needs emergency treatment. So consult emergency room and get done examination of nose to know the cause of bleeding.
For other symptoms do following things for better symptomatic relief.
1. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
2. Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid hard to chew food.
3. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
4. Take antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs.
5. Also take broad spectrum antibiotic like levofloxacin or azithromycin.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1 week. For nose bleeding consult emergency room.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
