You seem to be suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat and nose infection in this season. You may need to take antibiotics, anti cold medicines and decongestant nasal drops for few days. You should wait for a week before undergoing CT scan and other tests
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
