I have had fever, body pain, a cold, a cough, throat pain, and sneezing for the past 12 hours. What should I do to recover?

Asked by Female, 25 · 6 days ago

Your symptoms for the past 12 hours are most likely due to a viral infection (common cold or flu) and usually improve with simple care. Get plenty of rest, drink warm fluids like water, soups, or herbal tea, and eat light, easily digestible food. You can take Paracetamol for fever, body pain, and throat discomfort as per the recommended dose. Steam inhalation, saltwater gargles, and warm fluids can help relieve cough, congestion, and throat pain. Avoid cold or oily foods and keep yourself well hydrated. If your symptoms worsen, persist beyond 2-3 days, or you develop high fever, breathing difficulty, or severe weakness, consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
