Brief Answer:
You seem to have hypersensitivity to cold
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
You seem to be hypersensitive to temperature change and cold temperature. This is a very common condition in which person develops cough and/or mucous in response to cold temperature.
I dont think antibiotic will be any help in controlling the symptoms. In fact hypersensitivity can get worse with antibiotics.
All you need to do is to protect your airways from cold air flowing in. One way is to wear a warm cloth around your mouth and nose at all times in cold. Second is to keep your room warm with a heater. Drink cleaner water from an RO system during whole trip.
In runny nose tablet cetrizine is helpful. It can be taken 2 times a day.
You can carry clavam alongwith and take only if there is fever, greenish sputum and cough.
Sualin tablets can be soothing.
Also get a complete blood count done to find if there is infection or not.
Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

In case of prominent dry cough, you can take Tusq-D cough lozenges 3-4 times a day. Gargles with warm water will also help. Drinking warmer fluids also useful.

Okay. Any medicine for throat shoaring?
Brief Answer:
Symptomatic treatment of cough and cold
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
The treatment available for managing cough and cold is symptomatic. That means that whenever a particular symptom is present, a suppressant of that symptom is given until the symptom disappears.
For runny nose, sore throat - tablet cetrizine
For dry cough - Tusq-D cough lozenges
For infection symptoms - clavam tablets
For soothening of throat - sualin tablets or vicks lozenges
Hope it makes sense now. Please let me know if anything is still doubtful.
