Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per history you seem to be having upper respiratory tract infection.

For sore throat treatment Take decongestant like Levocetrizine OD for five days.

Avoid excess spicy foods

Steam inhalation done three times a day with warm water

Salt water gargle beneficial

Kindly mention whether you have dry cough or wet cough so that I can guide you further

Drink lots of water

If pain is left side in cardiac region than I will recommend EKG investigation

Take care

Hope this will help you

Good luck

You can Consult nearby physician for examination
