Hello,
thanks for using health care magic

It is likely that you and your friends have viral upper respiratory
tract infections.
There is no specific treatment and treatment involves management
of symptoms. Paracetamol for pains, steroid to reduce inflammation,
intake of much fluid, and keep warm
Generally, if there is no super-infection with bacterial symptoms should
resolve within a week or so.
Super-infection with bacterial presents with high fever, pus expectoration
and nasal discharge etc.

Hope this helps you.
Best regards
