Hi,
You seem to be having an upper respiratory tract infection. These infections are mostly viral and spread from person to person
I don't think you should take an antibiotic
Continue paracetamol tablets ( not more than 3 grams per day) for fever
You can take Cetrizine 10 mg at night but avoid it if you will be driving or doing any high risk manual work
Steam inhalation and warm saline water gargles help
Next Steps
consult if required
take care

For URTI (Upper Respiratory Tract Infection) relief, try drinking plenty of fluids, using a humidifier, and gargling with salt water to help soothe symptoms like a sore throat and congestion.
