Suggest Treatment For Runny Nose, Sore Throat And Mild Fever

Yesterday I woke up with a twinge of a sore throat, but it went away as the day progressed. Last night I woke up and my nose was running heavily. This morning, same thing and I started feeling achy. I took some allergy meds and something equivalent to Dayquil (off brands). I felt fine until about 2:30pm. I slowly started going down hill. At 5:30pm I fell asleep and woke up at 7:00pm. I have no voice, my nose runs when I lay down so I have a difficult time sleeping. I have a slight increase of temp (100 even). What should I do or look out for before I make a trip to the Dr?
