Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems that you are suffering from viral infection and seems to be most probably influenza or flu and the symptoms of cold, cough, runny nose, body aches, fever seems to be due to it. As the viral infection resolve once the virus completes its cycle and as of now you can start taking supportive treatment to relieve symptoms like take Acetaminophen to relieve fever. Take Ibuprofen to reduce pains and aches. Take decongestants like Phenylephrine, Multics like Aerosol and anti allergic like Levocetrizine. You can do warm saline gargles, steam inhalations and use a humidifier in your room. You can do saline nasal irrigation and decongestant nasal sprays like Xylometzoline. Avoid spicy and chilled foods and sip on plenty of warm water. Take sufficient rest. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor. .
