Hi
Your symptoms sounds like a common cold.You can have a warm chicken soup lemon tea and vitamin c supplement.Get some steam inhalation also.Can have acetaminophen and nasal decongesants. If high temperature,yellowish sputum then you should consult your doctor to have antibiotics.Hope this may help you.
thanks
