Hi
Thanks for posting the query
After going through the history, l do understand, that you are suffering from Upper Respiratory Tract Infection.
The initial days of infection will be of viral in nature, which gets resolved with simple home remedies and symptomatic treatment.
Now its seems to be quite number of days since the above symptoms started, hence, it would be wiser to consult the doctor for a thorough evaluation and management.
Also, drink plenty of warm water, do steam inhalation and avoid coffee/smoking.
Hope this answers your query; revert back to me if you have any follow up queries.
