hi,
From your above stated complaints it seems like flu. however, sore throat also indicates added bacterial infection.
Kindly take:
1. Tablet cetrizine 10mg at night daily one tablet for 5 days.
2. Tablet Azithromycin 500mg daily one tablet after a heavy lunch for 5 days.
3. Tablet paracetamol 500mg maximum upto thrice daily if there is fever.
Warm water gargle.
Drinks lots of fluids.
