I recently got back from a rainy trip to Lonavala, and since then, I've been dealing with this stubborn cold and cough. I've tried taking a bunch of different medicines, but nothing seems to be helping. Could you suggest something that might actually work?

I'm feeling really off with sweating and shivering, and it's like I can't control it. Then out of nowhere, I really need to go to the bathroom. My forehead feels like it's under a lot of pressure and I'm having difficulty breathing through my nose because it's all clogged up. Do you have any idea what's going on or how I can get rid of these symptoms?
