Suggest Treatment For Cold And Fever
Lately I have been tired a lot more and don't really have an appetite. I have been pretty lethargic and even though I don't have a temperature, my body is constantly hot and I'm sweating a lot more than I usually do. It's weird for me being always hot because I usually am always cold when people feel comfortable in a room.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of cold and fever which is due to upper respiratory tract infection . Well virus infection usually go away in few days by its own , but sometimes when infection become severe and it needs medical attention. Need not to worry. Avoid taking outside fried food and cold carbonated beverages. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist without any delay. Doctor may order throat swab test , viral culture test , CT scan and blood test to confirm the diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe anti viral acyclovir , antibacterial amoxicillin, decongestants along with anti inflammatory medications. For now take steam twice a day to relieve the congestion and drink warm water with one spoon honey in it .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
