Hello,
You can have a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract.
For that only Symptomatic management has to be done.
The decongestant like levocetirizine also can be prescribed along with vitamin C.
Salt water gargle has done with warm water three times a day can be beneficial as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
