Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Considering all your symptoms and their evolution ,it is very indicative for a viral infection of upper respiratory airways.It might be a common cold or flu.
This are common symptoms of a viral infection.
Normal or low white blood cells are also indicative for viral infection.A bacterial or parasitic infection would cause a high level of WBC.
Usually it is a self limited condition that don't require specific treatment.
The infection will do it's course and then the symptoms will start to improve gradually until complete recovery.
You need to rest a lot ,eat healthy foods and a well balanced diet because your body needs energy.
-It is very important to drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.
-Take Ibuprofen or Paracetamol for the pain and fever.
These symptoms may last up to 2 weeks and sometimes more but commonly they resolve on their own without causing any complication.
Hope it helps.
