Suggest Treatment For Cold And Sore Throat

I have had a cold with a runny nose, severe cough, green sputum and a really sore throat for 2-3 weeks now and last night I woke up and it felt like I had been hit in the throat. It feels like something is bruised or really dry. I can swallow food/water and breathe fine it's just painful to 'dry' swallow.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The most common cause of acute cough, cold and sore throat can be due to viral or bacterial infections. It would be better to get examined and evaluated by a Physician as you might need a course of Antibiotics depending upon the cause and a chest X-ray and few routine Blood tests might be required.

Meanwhile you can follow these suggestions:
Take steam inhalation thrice a day after adding "Karvol Plus" capsules in water. Make a syrup by adding 1 tbsp each of ginger paste, pepper powder and 2 tbsp of honey and take this 3 times a day.
Bromhexine HCl, Guaiphenesin, Phenylephrine, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Paracetamol. This medication is an expectorant, prescribed for chest congestion. It promotes lower respiratory tract drainage by thinning the mucus in the air passages to make it easier to cough up the mucus and clear the airways.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
