Brief Answer:
Might be Correct

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the query.

From the history provided by you, I feel that you might be suffering with viral fever due to change in climate as you guessed. Keep observing the colour of the mucus secreted. I feel it must be colourless currently, if yes, observe if it changes to yellow colour or not. If it changes to yellow colour, that suggests there is secondary bacterial infection and you might be antibiotics for that.

For now,
1. Take complete bed rest till the symptoms subside.
2. Tab. Sinarest three times a day for 3 days or till all your symptoms subside. 3. Steam inhalation three to four times a day.
4. Monitor your body temperature every 4th hrly.
5. Avoid cold and refrigerated food items.
6. XXXXXXX warm salt water gargling for throat irritation if any or to prevent secondary bacterial infections.

Hope this answers your query. If any further clarifications, will be happy to help you.

Regards.
