Hi, thanks for using HCM.
Your symptoms are suggestive of upper respiratory tract infection.
Most of the URTI are due to viral infection. Symptomatic treatment is enough to relive your symptoms. It usually subside in a week.
If you develop lower respiratory tract symptoms need to consult doctor for further management.
Hope this helps you.
Regards
