Hello,
Consult an ENT specialist and start on short course of antibiotics preferably Amoxcla for five to seven days. Do warm saline gargles and take antihistamines like Cetrezine for symptomatic relief.
You can also use expectorant cough syrups also.
Nothing much to worry as most of the cases resolve well with conservative measures.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
