Hi I can understand your concern....

Noted you have fever, headache and cold.
So it could be here viral influenza indfection.
Symptomatic management done...

Get your CBC done....If high total count and neutrophilia bacterial infection can be cause.
It s better to take antibiotic now...like cefixime....

Take lots of fluid...
More water....
Excess spicy and fried food avoided for few days.
Avoid smoking like respiratory irritant..

Take antihistaminic drug to relieve inflammation.

If still condition increasing then auscultation needed with chest x ray like investigation...

Take care.
