Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
For the upper respiratory tract infection, you can take a course of antibiotics like Azithromycin or Ampoxin(if you are not allergic). For the cough you syrup tusQ-dx or syrup grilinctus every 8-12 hours. Do warm water gargles and take steam inhalation to reduce the congestion.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
