What Causes Runny Nose, Dry Cough And Blocked Throat?

Hi, I have a runny nose, no fever, a dry cough and it feels like something is stuck in my throat and esophagus. It is slightly worst on one side of my throat than the other. Coughing really hurts. Have had symptoms for 4 days, but only 2 days of feeling like something is stuck in my throat and esophagus. This morning I now have a runny eye and wondering if I need to go see a doctor for antibiotics. I am currently in rural Lithuania, which may be hard to find.

Runny nose, dry cough and blocked throat seems to be due to upper respiratory infection due to poor immunity of your body. I would suggest you to avoid use of spicy, sharp oily and fried food substances. Apply mist humidifiers in room. You should take combination of antibiotic Levofloxacin along with antihistamine such as Levocetirizine. You should take cough expectorants. You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get chest x-ray done along with pulmonary function tests done so as to detect level of infection and treatment can be started accordingly. You should do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. You should take throat soothing agents.
