Hello,
You have described the symptoms of a typical lower respiratory tract infection. You needs to be started on oral antibiotics like azithromycin in appropriate dose after consultation with your GP. In addition to antibiotics you should also take antipyretics like paracetamol and decongestant medications to relieve the runny nose. You should also take steam inhalation three times daily and also warm saline gargles. Drink adequate amount of water and stay hydrated. Take rest.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Meera Rajeev, Anesthesiologist
