Viral: I think you're experiencing a viral upper respiratory tract infection that started in the nose and throat and is spreading into the bronchial tubes followed by cough. Prednisone would be a consideration in some cases of tonsillitis with huge tonsillar enlargement or if asthmatic wheezing is present. Otherwise,rest, drink adequate fluids, gargle with warm salt water, suck on lozenges and observe
