Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a respiratory tract infection. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest using a cough suppressant such as Dexometorphan syrup. If the symptoms continue, I suggest using a cycle of antibiotics such as Azithromycin 500 mg one tablet a day for three days.
Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
