Hi.
Noted the history of sore throat since afternoon, running nose since morning, coughing started in the evening. Now it is irritated throat with coughing to the extent that you can not speak.
The quick remedy for sore throat is possible only with proper medication as you have developed the symptoms one by one in the same day.
Since you have duties to performed, means have to have near normal fitness.
I would suggest you the following:
First of all instill decongestant nasal drops at 6 hourly interval followed by steam inhalations.
Take Ibuprofen and cough syrup as it will have antihistamines too.
You need to be seen by a Doctor for examination, strep test and get a prescription for an antibiotic and oral steroids if need be.

Take a good rest in the night for you to recover fast in the morning. Repeat the dosages once you get up.
