Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You may be suffering from Acute bronchitis or bronchectasis or pneumonia etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Use water vapour inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. Use bronchodilators, mucolytics and antibiotics under your doctor guidance. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and do X-ray chest then treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
