The symptoms described may be suggestive of an acute viral upper respiratory tract infection. However, a clinical examination is recommended for proper assessment and to rule out other causes.
At present, routine investigations may not be necessary if symptoms are mild and there is no persistent fever or other concerning feature. CBC/
CRP or specific tests such as dengue/malaria testing may be considered depending on the presence and duration of fever, examination findings, travel/exposure history and local prevalence.
Please maintain adequate hydration, take sufficient rest and monitor your temperature. Paracetamol may be taken if fever, headache or body ache is present, as per the recommended dose. Warm fluids and saline nasal drops may provide symptomatic relief for cold symptoms.
