Hi....
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service.

I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.
The symptoms of sore throat and cough are most likely due to a respiratory tract infection.
Symptoms might range from cough,coryza,headache,fever to fatigue and lassitude.
Viral infections are the most common cause of sore throat.
Some measures which can hasten your recovery include.....
1.Warm saline gargles.
2.Use of throat lozenges.
3.Keep yourself well hydrated and specially have hot fluids and soups.
4.Have soft diet.
5.Use a humidifier to relieve congestion.
6.Over the counter(OTC) Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Advil and Tylenol, will help in throat discomfort.
7.Take antihistamines like Levocetrizine 5mg at night time.
8.Take rest.
9.Maintain hand hygiene and asepsis.
If the symptoms do not improve,visit your clinician.
Hope that I have answered your query.
If you have any doubts,please let me know.
Stay healthy and stay blessed.
