Rest, soup/hot drink: It sounds like you have a viral infection-possibly the flu given the many cases we are seeing in the hospitals now. Rest is vitally important. Keeping very well hydrated also is important -chicken soup, hot lemon tea, etc should help. Try over-the-counter cough medicine/Tylenol. If you're feeling worse, see a doc for formal evaluation and treatment, esp. if you develop fever. Hope you feel better
