Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The symptoms what you have been describing appears that you could be having upper respiratory tract infection. It looks like viral infection followed by secondary bacterial infection.
Kindly do the following to overcome them.
1. Do salt water gargling with warm water thrice a day.
2. Use steam inhalation to liquefy the mucous for easy drainage.
3. Take mucolytic-decongestant medications in the form of syrup containing Ambroxyl/Bromhexine, Guaifenesin and Chlorpheniramine maleate as ingredients.
4. Take medicated lozenges for throat soothening effect when necessary.
5. Take a course of antibiotics orally like Azhithromycin.
6. For headache and body ache, kindly take analgesic medication Ibuprofen after food.
Strictly avoid consumption of cold items like cold drinks and ice cream.
Your symptoms should getter soon by adopting to above measures.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
