Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in.
It seems that you might be having viral infection giving rise to this problem.
Wait for 3-4 days and take cough suppressant and paracetamol for fever and cough. If there is no improvement, then go for CBC (complete blood check up) for bacterial infection. Then you may require antibiotic medicine course. Consult your doctor for antibiotic treatment if required.
Hop, I answered your query. If you have further query or clarification, please ask. I will be happy to help.
Wish you good health.
