Hello,
As per your query, you have symptoms of a chronic cough and nasal congestion which seems to be due to respiratory infection. Need not to worry about it.
You should go for steam inhalation on a daily basis along with nasal vaporizers. You should take chicken soup along with lemon tea.
Take a diet rich in vitamin C. Also, take the combination of Sinarest and Levocetirizine drugs. Rinse with antiseptic mouthwash as well.
Visit an ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment as per diagnosis. You should put Xylomist nasal drops to prevent congestion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
