After drinking a chilled beverage following heavy physical exertion and sweating, I developed a stuffy nose, feverish feeling, and weakness the next day. I took Cetirizine Tablet and Crocin Cold & Flu Max Tablet, but they haven?t helped much. I am planning to take Intagesic MR Tablet for relief. Please advise.
Your symptoms are consistent with a mild viral upper respiratory infection (common cold), possibly triggered by a sudden temperature change. Intagesic MR Tablet (a painkiller and muscle relaxant) is not suitable for treating cold symptoms, as it is intended for musculoskeletal pain. Effective management includes adequate rest, proper hydration, steam inhalation 2?3 times daily, and the use of an antipyretic (Paracetamol) or an NSAID (Ibuprofen) for fever and body aches, along with a nasal decongestant spray to relieve a stuffy nose. If symptoms worsen or persist beyond 7?10 days, consult a doctor for further evaluation.
