Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.

All the symptoms you have mentioned suggestive of pharyngitis(inflammation of your throat) along with rhinitis/common cold.
You don't need to worry regarding this as it is highly curable and chances for complications are very less.

I suggest you to consult a general practitioner and get the following things done:-
(1)- You can take simple analgesics like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever and pain.
(2)- A short course of antibiotic therapy for five to seven days is needed.
(3)- Antihistamines like levocetrezine would provide symptomatic relief.
(4)- Do warm saline gargles or gargling with a numbing mouth wash.
(5)- Nasal decongestants like xylometazoline can be tried for blocked nostrils.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
Dr.Shinas
