Hi thanks for contacting HCM... Here you could have streptococci like bactetial infection or it can be viral influenza respiratory infection.... CBC can be done for it... If shows neutrophils then bacterial and if show lymphocytosis then viral cause can be there.... Take cefpodoxime proxetil like antibiotic for it .. More water taken....Hot water useful.... Avoid excess spicy and fried food excess for few days.... Fruit juice more.... If blocked nose present you can take .05% oxymetazoline nasal Spray can be taken... Antihistaminic Drug can be used.... If still condition increasing then throat swab can be taken and send for culture... Consult physician discuss these with him... Take care.... Dr.Parth
