Hi
The circumstances point to the fact that the allergy is newly acquired.
Avoid carpets and pets...
Try OverThe-Counter antihistamine
If you continue to suffer - it is better to see an allergy specialist - they can investigate the ause and severity and plan appropriate approach
Good luck

Hello and thanks for the query
Your problem is most likely to be related to dust unless you have a previous history of cough and cold in changing climate. To get rid from it do steam inhalation 3-4 times per time and try to expel out phlegm as much as you can. In addition to this take expectorant cough syrup, anti-allergic drugs and protect yourself form dust and other pollen's. If you have fever or yellow phlegm than you need a course of antibiotic. Consult your physician and get treated immediately.
Best Wishes
