Hi,

Noted your history of symptoms of flu like fever, chills, runny nose, restless nights, tired and now have lumps on palate and in mouth.
The problem looks severe hence I would advise you the following in such a situation:
- First of all start with symptomatic treatment immediately in the form of Paracetamol as per body weight to get relief.
- Take an antihistamine
- Nasal drops and steam inhalation.
- Consult your Doctor for clinical evaluation.
- Investigations to support the diagnosis.
- Get started on additional prescription based medicines.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
