To get the most from this site you need to follow a description of symptoms with a specific question. You described a few symptoms, with no statement of duration, other symptoms, past attempts to treat or a question. This could be viral/bacterial/a reaction to ingested foods, etc. and may or may not require treatment. You are welcome to start over.
