Suggest Treatment For Dust Allergy

I accidentally breathed in some dust on our carpet, then the next day I started shivering, had a temperature and had a dry, infrequent, unproductive cough. I have the worst headache I have ever had. It hurts when I cough and my head feels sore and sensitive when I lightly rub over it with my hand. It feels like flu symptoms but with only a tiny amount of phlegm. I've been taking paracetamol for 3 days straight and my symptoms are not improving. Please help

Hello
Due to dust inhalation ,you developed all these symptoms due to bronchoconstriction .
Allergy also produced sore throat .
Simple paracetamol only provide relief in fever and pain .
When patient with such symptoms visit I prescribe them to take montelukast+levoceterizine one tablet once in day for 2- 3 days .
Destromethophan lonzes for local throat infection ( chew this one or twice in a day ).
Since this is acute episode , so also take deflazacort 30 mg ( only one tablet at a time ,not more than this ).
Take levofloxacin750 mg one tablet for 2-3 days .
Since all these are prescription medicine so consult your physician .
Hope this will help you.
