Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You have to visit the nearest medical center for complete evaluation. In many cases it's the result of viral or bacterial infection which can be determined by clinical evaluation and laboratory tests. Treatment depends on the cause: in viral infection only supportive treatment is required.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Take care.
