Hello,
Welcome to health care magic

Inflammation in nose and throat is caused by a variety of diseases like infections of sinuses, upper respiratory tract infection....
Common cold will not cause pain in neck and chest until it is complicated by or progressed to respiratory tract infection.
This requires treatment by oral antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs along with drugs for cold.

Hence I suggest you to consult your doctor for evaluation and treatment accordingly.
