NOTHING to worry. Most of the cases they r viral infection( like adeno viruses). Usually releived without medications within 2-3 days. You only need symtomatic treatment like paratimol for fever, anti histaminic / decongestant nasal drop for running nose, girgle,plenty of fluid etc. And use mask to prevent spread and take rest
