Understanding Your Symptoms

• Your symptoms of nasal congestion, sneezing, and runny nose are typical of a common cold, usually caused by a viral infection.

Use of Antibiotics

• Antibiotics are not needed for viral colds. They are only necessary if a bacterial infection is present, which is not indicated here.

Suitable Medications for Symptom Relief

• Consider over-the-counter options like antihistamines (e.g., cetirizine), decongestants, and pain relievers (e.g., paracetamol).
• Metaspray Nasal Spray can help relieve nasal symptoms. It contains Mometasone, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation.

Supportive Care Measures

• Ensure adequate rest and hydration. Use humidified air and saline nasal drops to ease congestion.

When to See a Doctor

• Seek medical attention if you experience a high fever, symptoms persist beyond 10 days, or your condition worsens.

Relevant Medical Specialties

• Consult a general physician or an ENT specialist if symptoms persist or worsen.
