Detailed Answer:
Hello
please dont worry , from your symptoms it looks like that you are having a viral infection.

Most of the viral infections will resolve in 5-7 days and you dont have to worry.

Please take your medications , as they will help you recover faster.

I would also like you to take plenty of bed rest and fluids , and vitamin C 5o mg once a day , as this will help in early recovery and boost your immunity.

You can also start gargling with warm salt water , it will help relieve your throat.

Please start the robitussin syrup as this will give you relief.

Thanks
