Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, possibility of viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is more likely.
Sore throat, neck pain, chest pain, generalized body ache etc are commonly seen with viral infection.
So better to drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 5 days.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
