HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that you may have a upper respiratory tract infection (common cold).These are usually viral.

This presents with the symptoms that you are describing.

You can consider the use of a decongestant and anti histamine to help to relieve the symptoms. If the coughing is severe then an cough suppressant would be needed.
These medications would be available over the counter.

I hope this helps
