Hi Dear,

Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.

Understanding your concern. As per your query persistent sore throat & stuffy nose is due to upper respiratory tract infection is caused by virus known as common cold infection. Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to take few preventive measures such as avoid fried and spicy food. Apply mist humidifiers in room. You should use decongestant nasal sprays like Otrivin along with antibiotic such as Amoxiclav. Take tablet acetaminophen if fever also there. Use throat lozenges. Visit ENT specialist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get it examined and start treatment accordingly. You should do saltwater gargle as well. Avoid smoke and cold carbonated beverages.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
