11 days is a bit long. Consult a doctor or take some proper OTC medicine. I take Vicks non-drowsy tablets. Unless its a bacterial infection (where you need to go to a doctor and get some anti-biotics prescribed), strong OTC's work ok, if its just a viral infection.

Best advice is to check with your doctor. If its been 11 days already, don't take it lightly.

DM try this out , take a pinch of asafoetida (heeng) every couple of days, don’t overdose. If that doesn’t work than take ¼ tsp of turmeric powder with honey twice a day. This should work, i didn’t make it up i promise.

I hope you get better soon :flower1:
