Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from upper respiratory tract infection generally known as common cold and the symptoms of cough, headache/migraine and pain in vice box seems to be due to infection and inflammation..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolayngologist and get evaluated and a throat swab culture and sputum culture can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
You can be advised to take a course of antibiotics like Azithromycin, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, decongestant like Phenylephrine, anti allergics like Levocetrizine..
Do warm saline gargles atleast 3 to 4 times a days..
Suck throat lozenges to soothe the throat..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods and drink plenty of warm water..
Steam inhalations can also relieve the symptoms..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
