General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your question in depth.
It may be due to viral flu as of now.Cant comment anything further as it will be too early to say anything as your history is of very short duration.
If I were your treating doctor,I recommend ,
-Antipyretic analgesic like diclofenac paracetamol combination for 3 days.
-Cough expectorant 2tsp twice.
-Have plenty of rest and intake of fluids.
-Have healthy balanced diet.
-Covering nose and mouth with handkerchief while coughing or sneezing.

-If the symptoms persists beyond 2 days,antibiotics need to be started.(to be taken with physician's consultation)
Certain investigations may then become necessary depending upon other symptoms present.
Hope this information helps.
Thanks and regards.
