Brief Answer:
Do steam inhalation and warm water gargles.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
You can do following things.
1. Warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
2. Use air purifier at home.
3. Avoid ice cream, cold drinks and other cold stuff.
4. Take antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti inflammatory (paracetamol) combination.
5. Take more green leafy vegetables, fruits because they are rich in anti oxidants and fights against infection.
6. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Runny nose, sputum production will be taken care by antihistamine. Fatigue, fever will be taken care by anti inflammatory drugs.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
