HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If you have a cough along with the sore throat and head cold symptoms, then it is possible that this may be contributing to your cold.

Coughing can put strain on the muscles in the chest causing pain.

The use of an anti inflammatory pain medication would help such as ibuprofen, cataflam or naproxen.

I hope this helps
