Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

According to history you are having upper respiratory infection...
In most of cases it is mainly due to viral infection....
It is mostly resolved with time ...

Now your condition is improving so no need for worry....
Drink lots of fluids daily...
Fruits taken more...
For few days avoid excess spicy foods and fried foods ...
Avoid smoking....
Take one tsp ginger juice with honey.....

If any unusual symptoms like fever and cough occurs chest x ray done for further investigation...

Take care
