Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have runny nose, headache, chest tightness, fevers and chills which is due to bacterial infection leading to strep throat along with upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to panic about it. I would suggest you to take Diphenhydramine and Dextromethorphan. You should take steam inhalation. Do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Get X-Ray chest done. Drink luke warm water throughout the day as it can provide relief. Doctor may also refer you to chest specialist . Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozanges one every 4 hours is helpful. It is very important to take steam which will be very helpful in relieving congestion. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. You should take you take nasal decongestant sprays, antihistamines and antibiotic combination as infection is present. In case of migraine type of condition doctor may also refer you to neurologist .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
