Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It may be due to viral infection or bacterial infection or allergy. Do steam inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. Avoid cold drinks or cold water, avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Use tablet Montelukast and Levocetirizine once a day for five days. If symptoms are not improved, please consult your physician. He will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care.
