Brief Answer:
Probably an upper respiratory tract infection,follow the advice below.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

In my opinion the symptoms seem to be related to upper respiratory tract infection.

Some advice that I can give to you are :
- Use anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day for the fever
- Take vitamin C supplements to boost the immune system
- Drink liquids
- Rest

If the symptoms continue I suggest you to do a complete blood count and a chest x ray for further evaluation and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
