Hi
Don't worry! The symptoms seem to be of unresolved Upper Respiratory Tract Infection. You need to take oral decongestants, saline nasal spray and do steam inhalation regularly. Also, you make require a course of oral antibiotics to take care of the infection. You can definitely carry on with the sports competition.
