Hi Dear,

welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of nasal congestion, sore throat and coughing which is because of viral infection/ upper respiratory infection. It might be due to poor and compromised immunity of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles three times daily. Taking decongestant nasal spray can also be relieving. If you feel pain and discomfort in body or throat taking painkillers like Ibuprofen Or Paracetamol can be relieving. You should take hot milk boiled with half a teaspoon of turmeric. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist once and get it examined. Doctor may order blood tests and x-ray chest. Doctor may order pulmonary function tests to detect level of infection. Drink lukewarm water on daily basis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
