Hi,
Welcome to the healthcare magic.
This could be a lower respiratory infection. You need a clinical examination and a chestx ray for confirmation.
I recommend the following.
1) Avoid smoking, this might aggravate the infection.
2) A course of antibiotics.
3) Tablet paracetamol for fever and antihistaminic for cold.
4) You might require nebulization for wheeze.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.

Wish you a speedy recovery.

Regards,
Dr Paparaja S MBBS MS
