Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

You are apparently suffering from common cold/flu. It is safe to take anti-histaminic drug, such as Levoceterizine twice daily; Steam inhalation through the nose, Saline gargles ( with 4 spoons of salt in a glass of water: and thrice daily paracetamol/acetaminophen.

Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me and will prescribe suitable treatment as advised.
