Brief Answer:
Most probably a viral infection but if not better, then see a doctor.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.
Do you have other symptom except the ones you have described above?
In general it may be a viral. You may start with runny nose, sore throat and cough. They will last for 3-5 days and you will start to be getting better.
Drink plenty or water, and use Acetaminophen every 4-6 hours as needed.
If you start being worse or not better, if you start having other symptoms other then those mentioned above, then I would recommend seeing a local doctor.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
Regards,
