Hello,
Thank you for your query.
It seems that you have a mild case of sore throat and a cold.
Home remedies should suffice.

I recommend:
- Drink warm fluids and sips throughout the day. Avoid anything cold
- gargle with salt water and rinse your mouth after every meal.
- take a vitamin c supplement 500 mg twice a day for 2 weeks ( morning and noon after meals)
-if your running nose has eased up , stop nasathera
- do steam inhalation with a few drops of eucalyptus oil . you can even put a few drops of this oil on a piece of cotton and leave it by your bed.
- when you sleep , cover your ears and throat . if you cough while going to bed, wear a face mask to breath in moist air or use a humidifier in the room.

hope this helps and you get better soon.
Wish you good health
