Brief Answer:
Need evaluation...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Are you running fever?
Do you feel weakness / fatigue?
How long are you dealing with this problem?
Based on your initial description you seem to be suffering with bronchitis probably due to a viral illness. It's difficult to assess the severity without physical examination. Therefore it is worthwhile to see a doctor and get yourself assessed.
In the meantime, I will start you on paracetamol tablets - tab dolo 650mg three times a day. Antihistamine drugs - tab cetrizine 10mg at night.
In addition steam inhalation as well as antitussive cough syrup like syp benadryl 1tsp three times a day will help you.
You may start with aforementioned treatment options and plan to visit a physician nearby.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Regards
