Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sore throat, pressured headache, sleeplessness and stuffed nose, well these symptoms are due to sinusitis and upper respiratory tract infection. You could have tonsillitis as well. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles 2-3 times a day. You should take steam inhalation twice a day. Take paracetamol for fever and headache. Consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics amoxiclav at least for 10 days along with decongestant.Doctor may order test like swab test , blood test , and viral culture test to rule out condition like acid reflux and strep throat. Maintain proper hygiene and drink plenty of fluids. Take tepid sponging if it is severe headache. Maintain proper hygiene. Drink plenty of water and liquids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
