Suggest Medication For Sore Throat,cough And Stuffy Nose

I was at my grandmothers this weekend and the air in her house is really dry and I ended up getting a sore throat and a really stuffy nose. I have a bad cough and it s all been going on for 2 1/2 days. I don t have a temp so my parents don t believe I m sick. But I really just don t feel well and there s a nasty taste in the back of my throat I always get when I m sick and it won t go away.

Hello
All the symptoms ,which mentioned in your query ( sore throat , stuffy nose, cough , nasty taste )are an indication of allergic rhinitis .
Allergens , as you mentioned are , in the house of your grandmother .
When such type of patient visit I prescribe them to take montelukast+levoceterizine tablet once or twice in day .
I also advise my patient to take AZITHROMYCIN 500 mg once in day for 3 days .
Hot saline gargles help to clear from throat .
But some times patient feels bronchoconstriction so take montelukast+bambuterol tablet once or twice in day .
You will get relief within 2-3 days .
Good luck.
