Hello , Welcome to healthcaremagic.com and thanks for sharing your concern with us. Your symptoms are suggestive of viral upper respiratory infection . Such infections are self limiting in 7 to 10 days . Follow these tips: 1. Take rest 2. gargle multiple times a day with warm salt water. 3. drink warm tea for soothing of throat. 4. keep a bowl full of warm water in your room to make the air humidified which will help in prevention of drying of respiratory tract . 5. drink chicken soup 6 . take Tylenol for fever. If you will follow these then recovery will be faster . In most of the cases viral infection resolves on its own but in few cases viral infection is followed by a bacterial infection . If fever , cough lasts more than 10 days then consult your PCP . I wish you good health . Best Regards, DR.S.TOMAR
