Hi,

Take rest. Maintain proper hydration [have lots of fluids]. DIMAPHEN DM will help treat adults [less than 100ml/day divided into 5-6 doses]. Wash hands. Position your bed at 45 degrees. No smoking or alcohol consumption. Vitamin C tablet chewable can be taken.
Zinc gluconate lozenges shows fastened recovery, it can be up to 10 mg per day but sputum examination may needed to rule out bacterial infection. Do a little breathing exercise i.e., pranayam. It is proved to be very good.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
