Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of viral respiratory tract infection is more.
So drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
Avoid oily and spicy food.
Start levocetrizine and paracetamol combination twice daily.
You will mostly improve with all these in 5 days.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
