Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, possibility of viral Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI - flu) is more in your case.
Viral infections are self limiting in nature. It takes almost 1-2 weeks for complete recovery.
For symptomatic relief in viral URTI, follow these steps.
1. Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid hard to chew food.
2. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
3. Start antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs.
4. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
You will mostly improve in 1-2 weeks. Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
