What Causes Severe Cough Along With Sore Throat And Headache?
I am wondering if whati have is a virus or something more. I have had cold-like symptoms for a week now. I had a dry cough and sore throat at first. They both went away and then I got a runny nose. Now I have a wet cough and each time I cough, I get shooting pains in my head. The sore throat is back slightly and well as stuffed/runny nose.

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be due to upper respiratory tract infection.
I would suggest to consult primary care physician and undergo examination, routine blood test like CBC, DC, ESR.
Following treatment will help you
Tablet diomenic
Tablet azithromycin
Syrup bedanryl CR
Do gargling with 2% betadine
Tablet vitamin C
Lozenges strepsil every 4-6 hours
Drink plenty of luke warm water
Eat healthy diet, use humidifier and steam inhalation
