Hello,
Its a respiratory tract infection involving both upper and lower tract.
You should have antibiotics for this. You should have Tab Azithromycin 500 mg once a day along with some antacid like tab pantoprazole 40 mg beforebreakfast once a day for five days. Also, have betadine gargles four times a day. For cough, you have syr Alex 2 teaspoon whenever needed upto three times a day. Avoid cold food items.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
