Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting the query
Going by your description, I am of the opinion that you are having viral infection of the upper respiratory tract.
As viral infection is self limiting, with symptomatic measures you will feel better and may not require antibiotics. Hydration is key for your problem.
My suggestions to you are:
1. Drink plenty of warm water.
2. Do steam inhalation
3. Try taking oral decongestants available OTC.
4. Avoid coffee/ chilled food/ beverages/ smoking.
Hope I have answered your query; I will be available for the follow up queries.

Blood tinged sputum following flu is normal...
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing back
Blood tinged sputum after an attack of upper respiratory tract infection is normal. This is due to break in the engorged blood vessels of the throat (following an infection) when you cough.
Please continue with the steam inhalation, saline nasal spray and the cough drops. Also, drink lots of warm water, this will give excellent relief.
Do not worry! There is nothing serious as per your symptoms and signs are concerned.
Hope, this clarifies your doubts.
Wish you good health and good luck.
