Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe cough, runny nose and fever which is due to severe upper respiratory tract infection along with poor and compromised immunity of body.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Avoid use of spicy, sharp oily and fried food substances.

- Apply mist humidifiers in room.

- Take throat soothing agents.

- Do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day and avoid cold carbonated beverages.

Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and get X-ray chest done so as to detect level of infection and treatment can be started accordingly. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with antiinflammatory medication combination.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
