Hi,
If this is the viral infection then be patient for at least 5 to 7 days it will be fine on its own and it may not need any specific treatment. In high clinical condition Tab Acetaminophen can be tried as per needed. Take bed rest, drink enough of water, and have light diet that is advisable, else it is nothing to worry. Watch for secondary infection if symptoms last for more than week and have symptoms fatigue, high grade fever.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain Shaikh
