Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query cold and throat pain is because of due to upper respiratory infection , which can be bacterial or viral. it could be strep throat or sinusitis. I would suggest you to start with course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs .
Avoid cold beverages. Do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day with lukewarm water. Take diet rich in fruits rich in vitamin C as it will boost your immunity. taking steam twice a day will be helpful.
If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start proper course of antibiotics or anti viral depending upon the diagnosis . You can take steam inhalation and an expectorant cough syrup if cough is associated with sputum.
Phenylephrine, chlorpheniramine maleate are effective cough syrups.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
