Brief Answer:
Antibiotics needed

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I suspect you to have infection based on the description of your symptoms for which I recommend a course of antibiotics for now.

You may also have to take Tab Cheston cold twice daily which surely will provide relief from the symptoms.

It cant but due to low immunity but due to weather for sure.

Gargling antiseptic solution like Chlorhexidine twice daily would prevent you from getting these infections repeatedly.

Do consult a GP to get a prescription for antibiotics.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you speedy recovery.
