Hello,

The severe cold with dehydration and throat pain can be an alarming sign of underlying auto immune disturbances as CREST syndrome, developing systemic sclerosis, thyroid gland related issues, imbalance between sodium levels or else. A thorough clinical examination, series of lab tests are mandatory for the evaluation and cure accordingly.

Till the time being approach, you must get plenty of liquids to maintain hydration with gargles of salted lukewarm water to clear any minor infection if it is there.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
