Most doctors seem these days to say if you have a virus infection it will run its course without the need for antibiotics. However if there is the likelihood that it is more serious you should see your doctor. If you are able to cosset yourself for a few days the virus should run its course.

Here is a link to an article in NHS Choices making the assumption that you are in England.

Hope you soon feel better.
