Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a respiratory tract infection. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation. I also suggest using a mucolytic such as Mucinex to treat the cough. If the symptoms continue, antibiotics are needed.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
