How Can Sore Throat Along With Headache And Cold Be Treated?

I have had cold like symptoms going on 7 days now. Started with sore throat only. Then head ache, ears and nose are stuffed and the usual cold symptom annoyances. No fever. Then had pink eye which cleared up in a couple of days. have not wanted to go to a dr. as I keep thinking it has to play out, but everyday - late in the day - I start feeling worse again.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It seems like you are having common cold symptoms, wich is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract and it includes all the symptoms that you mentioned.
This condition can continue for 7 or some more days.
You can use Ibuprofen twice daily , and Tylenol three times in a a day deppending on the gravity of your symptoms, for some other days until you feel better and drink plenty of fluids.
You can also use nasal decongestionant spray, if you still have stuffy nose, for up to five days.
I think your health condition will improve in a short period of time, but if you don't, then you will need to consult a doctor for a physical examination and some blood tests.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
