Patient's Query

I have been experiencing fever, body pain, and a headache since few days. I also have a cough and a cold, as well as an irritating sensation in my throat. Whenever I take paracetamol, my temperature goes down, but after six hours, it increases again. Currently, I am taking medication containing Metoprolol, Cilnidipine and Telmisartan for high blood pressure. Could you please suggest a suitable medication?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern. Based on the information you provided, there is a possibility of a viral upper respiratory tract infection being more likely. Therefore, I suggest you follow the treatment plan mentioned below for five days:

  1. Take a tablet of Azithromycin 500 mg once a day after breakfast.
  2. Take a tablet containing Montelukast and Fexofenadine after food, once a day.
  3. Take 10 ml of syrup containing Chlorphenamine Maleate (antihistamine) and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (cough suppressant) three times a day after food.
  4. Take a tablet containing Esomeprazol Magnesium Trihydrate once a day on an empty stomach.
  5. Betadine gargles after eating.
  6. Take a tablet of Paracetamol 650 twice a day after food.

Additionally, I suggest you perform warm water gargles and steam inhalation four to five times a day. Avoid consuming oily, spicy, and junk food. Also, refrain from consuming cold items such as ice cream, cold drinks, and soda. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
