Brief Answer:
Take medication and betadine gargle

Detailed Answer:
Hello

I have studied your case.

According to your history there may be congestion in your throat and upper respiratory tract.
You can take decongestant like tab sinarest trice a day and tab levocetrizine in night.
If infection not controlled then you may need to take antibiotic like azithromycin consulting your doctor.
Take betadine mouth gargle
And take steam inhalation for early recovery
