Suggest Treatment For Cold, Sore Throat And Fever

Just yesterday I noticed a few red dots on both of my hands. It started out as two and now I have 5. They re red and kinda sore if I touch them. Just this morning I noticed I have 3 on my left foot as well. I ve been experiencing a cold this past week as well and am nervous i m getting hand foot mouth disease, although i have not experienced a sore throat or a fever. Could it be something else?

Hi,

I understand your concern. The symptoms what you have been describing appears that you are having respiratory tract infection. Kindly do the following to overcome them.

1. Do salt water gargling with warm water thrice a day.

2. Use steam inhalation to liquefy the mucous for easy drainage.

3. Take mucolytic-decongestant medications in the form of syrup containing Ambroxyl/Bromhexine, Guaifenesin and Chlorpheniramine maleate as ingredients.

4. In case you feel feverish and body aches, you need to take Tablet Paracetamol with Ibuprofen combination after food.

5. Take a course of oral antibiotics Tablet. Azithromycin once a day for 3 days.

6. Take medicated lozenges for throat soothening effect when necessary. Strictly avoid consumption of cold items like cold drinks and ice cream. Your symptoms should get better soon by adopting to above measures.

Hope the information provided would be helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S
