Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your query you have symptoms of cold along with sore throat and cough which is due to upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination as infection has already spread. You should get throat swab test, complete blood profile to find out extent of infection. Take steam inhalation and take proper rest. Keep yourself hydrated and do warm saline gargles . Maintain hygiene. Take diet rich in multivitamins. You should start with antibiotic such as Augmentin along with decongestants and anti inflammatory such as Levocetirizine .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
