Hi,
You are contagious. But no need to head to doctor. Most of these are viral and you will be fine in a couple of days. If cough is irritating, you can take an antihistamine like Levocetirizine tablet 5mg for 3-5 days.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
