Hello,
You are having upper respiratory tract viral influenza infection most probably. For that symptom management done.
You can be prescribed short term, low dose steroid course. If no improvement than CBC should be done for further work up.
Take one tsp turmeric powder with milk daily.
Salt water gargle done with lukewarm water is beneficial.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
