Hello,
Thanks for your query on Practo
"As" per your clinical history is concerned you can take [Sinarest Tab]every 8 hours and no other medication as you have no fever.
Health Tips
1)Wash your hands. Thorough and frequent hand-washing is an effective way to prevent many common infections. Or use alcohol-based hand sanitizers if soap and water aren't readily available. 2)Contain your coughs and sneezes. Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough. To avoid contaminating your hands, cough or sneeze into a tissue 3)Try to avoid crowds.Virus spreads easily wherever people congregate , By avoiding crowds during peak flu season, you reduce your chances of infection. And, if you're sick, stay home so that you don't infect others. 4)Mix one tablespoon of honey in one cup of hot water. If you want, add a few drops of lemon juice. This soothing drink will promote mucus flow and help reduce irritation and itchiness in your throat. Drink it three times a day. Hope that helps

You can visit a general physician but you should try and avoid medications since you're breastfeeding unless it becomes unbearable. The following may help you:
- Avoid cold food and water, preferably have hot food and water
- Don't skip meals have a liquid diet containing soups and progressively increase to solid diet as per how you can tolerate.
- Have food rich in vitamin C such as oranges to help build immunity.
- Drink plenty of fluids, drink 3 liters of water per day
- Do salt water gargling with lukewarm water thrice a day
- Do steam inhalation (plain steam) thrice a day and apply vaporub over your chest and nose
- Maintain good personal hygiene (Keeps hands clean)
- Rest plenty, body heals while at rest
If the condition persists or worsens visit your nearest ER at earliest
