Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having severe upper Respiratory tract infection ( URTI ). And if not treated properly, can lead to lower respiratory tract infection ( LRTI ). So along with drugs try to follow these steps.
1. Drink plenty of fluids.
2. Avoid oily and spicy food.
3. Warm water gargles 5 - 6 times a day.
If not improve in 5-6 days than get done chest x ray to rule out LRTI. You may need sputum culture and sensitivity to guide antibiotic therapy.
