Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your symptoms and description, I think you are having upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) mostly. So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food.
2. Drink plenty of water.
3. Warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
4. Start macrolide group of antibiotic.
5. Start antihistamines and anti inflammatory drugs.
If not improved in 5-7 days then consult doctor and get done chest x ray to rule out lung infection.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
