Hi and thanks for the query,
You are down with upper respiratory tract infection,
If you feel feverish then take a paracetamol fter checking the dose.
If you have body ache take any over the counter pain killer after checking the dose.
Follow some general measures.
1) Drink plenty of fluids.
2) Warm salt water gargling 4 times daily.
3) Avoid cold foods and air conditioning.
4) Get plenty of rest.
If you do not feel better in 3 days, visit the doctor.
Regards, Dr Kishori.
