Poor immunity of body is contributing for your condition. Need not to worry. You should take antibacterial drugs such as Levofloxacin along with anti-inflammatory drug. Take nimesulide along with paracetamol. Apply wet cold sheets on your head to lower down body temperature. Apply wet cold sheets on your head to lower down body temperature. Avoid hot, spicy and sharp food substances. Take diet rich in multivitamins and vitamin C. Your symptoms will resolve in 4-5 days.

Take hot milk rich in turmeric as it will booster immunity. You should get x-ray chest done and get it examined.
