Hello
Welcome to Healthcare Magic
As you are having cough and other constitutional symptoms which are in favor of flu like symptoms. Most of the flu are self limiting snd it will resolve by itself.
If the symptoms are not improving I would suggest you to follow
1. Drink hot water
2. Salt water gargling
3. NSAIDs like Ibuprofen
4. Oral antibiotics like Tab Bactoclav.
5. oral antihistamine.
Thank you.
