Hello
I had gone through your question and I really appreciate your concern.
Sore throat and cough with nose blockage might be related to inflammation or infection of the upper respiratory tract.

Hello Mr XXXXXXX
Welcome again and thanks for the details
Teleact D contains telmisartan which can cause various side effects like sinusitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis, coughing and URTI.
Since you not having any symptoms of acute infection so I would advise you to discuss with your doctor for an alternative to telmisartan which might be responsible for your stuffy nose and sore throat.
You should do gargling and steam inhalation along with montewok LC tablet at bed time for 4 to 5 days if it doesn't improve than you should visit your doctor for physical examination and further course of action.
Hope this answers your question
please feel free to ask for further queries or any doubt I will be happy to help you
