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

It is possible to get common cold after the exposure to a cold environment (Allergic variant) or due to virus infection. Do water vapor inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days.

Avoid cool drinks and freeze water, and use tablet Montelukast and Levocetirizine for five days. If symptoms not improved, then please consult your doctor so that he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
