It is important to drink enough. If your nose is swollen and shut, xylometazoline does handle that. Paracetamol (1000 mg for adults) or Ibuprofene (400 mg for adults) will help against pain and fever.

Far out. 400 ibuprofen is more than enough for most people. Always try the smallest recommended dose first.

You're right, I updated my comment.I tend to take 600 mg when I have severe pain, but I'm 203cm/110kg.
