[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I had gone through your question. I can understand your concern. All these symptoms could be due to upper respiratory infection. Yes you can take Advil for pain relief. Allergy medicine can be taken if you have any itching, runny nose. I recommend the following.1) A course of antibiotics.2) Analgesics like paracetamol for pain relief. You can take tablet ibuprofen also.3) Salt water gargling. Add a pinch of salt to a glass of warm water. You will be fine. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help you. Wish you a speedy recovery and good health.
