Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am suffering from cold and fever. Please help me. Please tell me some medicines.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Fever and common cold come due to viral upper respiratory tract infection. For that tablet, Levocetirizine 5 mg can be taken once a day for five days. Take Vitamin C 500 mg once a day for five days. If the common cold is more severe, then Oxymetazoline nasal spray can also be taken for three days. Investigate your CBC (complete blood count), ASO (anti streptolysin O) titer.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
