Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Usual time for recovery is 2-3 weeks.
In my opinion, you should also start antihistamine drugs for cough suppression.
Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Do steam inhalation 4-5 times a day. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
You will mostly improve in next 1-2 weeks.
