Hi.
Thanks for the query..

Yes, your symptoms are due to viral infection causing flu or common cold..
Viral infection i commonly self resolving and gets resolved once the virus completes its cycle in human body..
You should start taking a combination of Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen..
Take levocetrizine.
You can also take a cough suppressant if there is cough..
Also do warm saline gargles and suck throat lozenges..
You should avoid taking spicy and cold foods as it can aggravate the symptoms..
If there is no improvement in 4-5 days consult an Emergency room and get evaluated..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
