Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, you should get a chest X-ray and careful chest and throat examination. Possibility of lower respiratory tract infection is quite high. You may need antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen. Anti histamines like Cetrizine or Loratidine can be helpful too. Steam inhalations may be needed.

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

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Regards,
