Brief Answer:
URTI.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
It seems you have developed Upper Respiratory Tract infection (URTI).
I would advise in such situation following :
1. Antibiotic like Augmentin 625 mg thrice a day.
2. An anti allergic like Levocetrizine 5mg once a day.
3. To take Dolo 650 mg thrice daily.
4. To do warm saline gargles atleast 4 times a day. You can also also add 2 tablets of Disprin in 1/2 cup of water and do gargles for instant relief.
This will take atleast 3 days to get better.
In case you develop any bleeding from any site, see your doctor immediately to rule out dengue and malaria.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
