Brief Answer:
Its treatment is only symptomatic

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

You seem to be developing common cold. You can gargle with warm salt water. Can take strepsil lozenges for soothing the throat.

Otherwise its treatment is symptomatic. If you develop fever and/or discomfort then take paracetamol 500 mg 3-4 times a day. You can take tab Cetirizine for runny nose.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
