Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You are having a lower respiratory infection or allergy. Take the medicine prescribed by the doctor. It will take more than 2 week to get recovered. Till then please take steam inhalation through mouth. Take the cough syrup if prescribed.
