No reason why you cannot do light exercise, unless your infection is causing coughing and breathing challenges. A relatively mild infection, which is typical in your age group should not curtail reasonable activity.

Yes, you can exercise, but just be tuned in to your body's signals and you don't want to overdo it. Stick with light activities and make sure you increase your fluid intake and take some vitamins, like vitamin C.
