Warm salt water gargling two to three day.
Steam inhalation with few drops of eucalyptus oil in it, three to four times a day.
Drink plenty of water, especially warm water.
In the mornings one teaspoon of honey with a glass of warm water will be good.
Nasal decongestant like xylometazoline. If there is nasal congestion.
You can suck lozenge like strepsil or cofsil few times a day.
Kindly avoid air conditioned room for few days. Avoid cold food like ice cream .
