One day of blocked nose, fever and body ache is almost always a viral upper respiratory infection - it settles in 4-5 days and needs no antibiotic. Paracetamol 650 mg when the fever or ache is troubling, steam twice a day, saline nasal drops, xylometazoline spray for two or three nights only (not longer, it rebounds), warm fluids and rest will let you sleep. At 59 I would keep an eye on things a bit more closely than in a young adult.
Next Steps
Symptomatic treatment for 3 days. If fever crosses the 4th day, or you get breathlessness, chest pain, wheeze, persistent vomiting or oxygen dipping below 94 on a pulse oximeter, get examined the same day - at that age flu and pneumonia both need ruling out. Book a consult with me on Practo if it is not clearly improving by day 3.
Do steam inhalation
Take1 paracetamol tablets sos if you have fever
Take loratadine 10 mg at night for 3 days for cold
Saline nasal drops 1 drop 3 times daily
Cefexim o200 two times after food for five days. Zerodol sp three times a day after food for 3to5 days. Montek lc one at night for five days.
Oxyreilif nasal spray two puffs two times.
Tab cetrizine 5mg one morning and one evening for 5days.
Tab monteleukast 10mg one daily in evening for 5days.
Tab paracetamol 500mg every 8 hours for 3 days
Do steam inhalation with karvol capsule 3 times daily.
