HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The common cold normally lasts 1 to 2 weeks though the cough can sometimes persist after the other cold symptoms have resolved.
The symptoms related to the common cold and hay fever are similar and since you have both then your symptoms may be worse than if only one was present.
The use of oral antihistamines, topical and oral decongestants and topical steroid nasal sprays should help to decrease your symptoms.
The oral anti histamines and decongestants would be available over the counter, you may need a prescription for the sprays.
I hope this helps
