Hello,
As first line management, you can take antihistamines like Cetirizine for symptomatic relief. Expectorant cough syrups can also be tried to clear excess mucus. If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and start antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
