HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor, The history and symptoms are suggestive of respiratory tract infection which is causing all these Ward symptoms. In severe cases the patients nay have symptoms of blood tinged sputum. I would suggest your girlfriend to undergo lab investigations like CBC, sputum examination, chest X-ray and urine examination. For the present symptoms I would recommend to follow1. Steam inhalation with vocals.2. Salt water gargling3. Oral antibiotics like tab Augmentin4. Bucolic syrup5. Oral antihistamines aforementioned measures helps to control the symptoms and improve the condition. Thank you.
