Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Your symptoms are suggestive of Upper respiratory tract infection. Most of the times these infections are due to viral infection which shall subside in 3-4 days . Hence I advise you to wait for 1-2 days more and observe.

Till then you can take Paracetamol for fever and Cetrizine for cold. Do salt water gargling 3-4 times a day, drink hot water, avoid oily food , non veg food and Citrus fruits.

If your symptoms show no improvement even after 2 days then you require an antibiotic course like Azithromycin, as the possibility of bacterial infection becomes high as 4ht day of illness. In that case get a prescription from your doctor for Azithromycin.

Hope this information was useful to you.
