Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from Upper Respiratory tract infection and the symptoms of cold, runny nose, post nasal drip and sweating are all due to it..
You have a temperature of 96 degree Fahrenheit and it is nothing very abnormal..
I would suggest you to take anti allergics like Levocetrizine or Benadryl, decongestants like Pseudoephadrine, do steam inhalations..
You can do saline nasal irrigation and take decongestant nasal sprays for relieving congestion..
You can sip plenty of warm water..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily as it helps in boosting immunity.
Take a soft bland diet and maintain proper hydration.
Take sufficient rest.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
