Suggest Cure For Sore Throat And Nasal Discharge

I experienced a mild sore throat beginning 5/30/17. By next day it was still slightly sore and began sneezing an nasal drip. By 6/1 began a productive cough followed each time after a bout w/nasal discharge which has continued - discharge has not been yellow (mucous) but thick and white. By 6/3, feeling well but 4-5 coughing bouts per day w/discharge. Temp. not above 99. Today has been much better so wondering if I need to be checked by doctor or is it safe to let it wind down ? Thank you.
