Runny nose with fever, sore throat
I got a cold two days back all of a sudden. Ever since then, my nose is running....I have tried anti allergic medicine, D cold total but to no avail. Along with the runny nose, I am having sore throat and fever which is recurring. If I have a paracetamol, the fever and body ache subsides for some time but then comes back again...Also I am experiencing headache. Please suggest what can be done and if any blood tests need to be conducted.
