What Is The Treatment For The Sore Throat, Headaches And Stuffy Nose?

I ve always had issues with my sinuses(drainage causing sore throat, congested head) No big deal. But this time I started off with a cough followed by the typical sore throat and headache and stuffy nose. It s been like this for about a week and my throat is no longer sore, but my nose is so stopped up it s still hard to breathe and I m also getting this very distinct smell in my nose. It doesn t smell like anything foul but I definitely don t like it. Especially considering I ve only smelled it one other time in my life. And it was a few years ago with the same sinus infection. Anything you can tell me about why I m getting this smell or if I should go to the doctor

I really appreciate your concern the given history is suggestive of allergic condition and this is self limiting conservative management alone would be enough, and this includes, drinking more water, steam inhalation, anti-histamine (Levocetrizine ) salt water gargling cough lozenges try this every thing would be fine and no need to worry about this, taka care and have a nice day.
