Probably you developed secondary bacterial infection. better to avoid steroids. Avoid cool drinks and freeze water, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. Use water vapor inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. Use decongestant medication and anti histamine for running nose. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
