Hi,I had gone through your query and want to say you thanks for your patience despite of having such symptoms.I think you need not to be worried too much now.
I see similar cases in my clinic. In the first meeting, I give symptomatic treatment thinking of viral infection and ask them to follow up after 2 days if they are not improving.

Since you are giving history of fever for 1 day ,I would advice you to observe for another 2 days.

During this time you may take:
>Antihistamine like cetrizine
>Paracetamol(acetaminophen) tablet if temperature rises
>Throat soothing agent

If you find breathless,wheeze,profuse foul smelling sputum etc,then please go to you local doctor.

Hope this answers your query.
Take care and get well soon.
