Hi,

Your symptoms indicate a common viral infection (flu). I suggest the following to ease your symptoms:

- take more fluids (water, tea)
- get otc anti-coughing medicines. If your cough is productive should use carbocystein syrup or pastilles to ease coughing
- herbal cough medicines are also good choices
- take o.t.c painkillers
- keep the air well humidified
- do aerosol-therapy with warm saline/chamomile tea
- use nasal saline
- get multivitamin to gain energy

If symptoms won't resolve within a week, should consult your physician to exclude pneumonia and to start oral antibiotic treatment.

Wish you fast recovery!
