If you have a runny nose, dry cough, and fever, it is important to rest, stay hydrated, and monitor your symptoms closely.
🩺 Immediate Steps to Take
- Use over-the-counter fever reducers like paracetamol to manage fever and discomfort.
- Drink warm fluids such as herbal teas or soups to soothe your throat and stay hydrated.
- Avoid exposure to irritants like smoke or strong perfumes that can worsen cough or nasal symptoms.
⚠️ When to Seek Medical Attention
- If your fever persists beyond 3 days or worsens.
- If you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe weakness.
- If symptoms suddenly worsen or you develop new symptoms like rash or swelling.
🩺 Additional Advice
- Avoid self-medicating with allergy medicines like Allerone-M Tablet without a doctor’s prescription, as it contains specific antihistamines and leukotriene antagonists meant for allergic reactions.
- Consult a general physician or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for proper evaluation and treatment, especially if symptoms do not improve or if you have underlying health conditions.
