Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
I understand your concern experiencing cold, dry cough, and facial pain can be uncomfortable and is usually caused by viral infections, though bacterial infections or sinus inflammation may sometimes contribute
â
Advices
⢠Stay well hydrated and rest as much as possible to help your body recover
⢠Use a saline nasal spray or warm steam inhalation to relieve nasal congestion and sinus discomfort
⢠Gargle with warm salt water to soothe throat irritation
What to Monitor
⢠Notice any worsening cough, high fever, or persistent facial pain
⢠Mild warning signs include fatigue, mild body ache, or occasional headache
Managment
You may try over-the-counter medicines like a mild cough suppressant at night if sleep is disturbed and paracetamol for pain or fever. Avoid self-medicating with strong antibiotics as this is usually a viral infection
When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
⢠High fever, severe facial pain, or swelling around eyes
⢠Shortness of breath or wheezing
⢠Cough producing blood or green/yellow thick sputum for more than a week
Every patientâs situation is unique. For accurate diagnosis and lasting relief, itâs important to discuss your medical history and symptoms in detail
You can reach out to me directly for this case, and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation
I am available on Practo or on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a one-on-one consultation, where youâll receive
A personalized treatment plan
Safe medicine adjustments if required
Quick follow-ups to track your recovery
Take care, wishing you good health
Best regards
Dr. Romain Rajan

Based on your symptoms — cold, dry cough worsening at night, running nose, and jawline pain for 5 days — this likely suggests acute viral upper respiratory infection or sinusitis. The jaw pain may be due to sinus congestion or referred pain from inflamed sinus cavities.
1. Tab L - histmont 1 tab HS – for 5 days.
2. Cough syrup – 5 ml TDS for 5 days.
3. Steam inhalation – 2 to 3 times daily to relieve congestion.
4. Saline nasal drops or spray – 2 drops in each nostril BD to reduce nasal blockage.
5. Hydration and rest – Drink warm fluids and avoid cold exposure.
Next Steps
Monitor for improvement within 3–4 days. If symptoms worsen, consult
