Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
You might be suffering from viral infection.
i would advi you to do a blood test haemogram to see the total leucocyte count.If it is raised >10000/cmm then it is a bacterial infection and would need antibiotic like ceftum.
Otherwise viral cold infection resolves on its own.
Adv-1.Steam inhalation
2.Adequate rest.
3.Plenty of oral fluids
4.Salt water garggles.
5.Medications like sinarest and Montek LC can help.
In case of worsening of symptoms refer to a general physician immediately,as swine flu has to be ruled out.
Take care.
