Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Most common cause for cough and cold is viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI).
And viral infections take minimal 7-10 days complete improvement. They are usually self limiting in nature.
Follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid oily and spicy food.
2. Avoid hard to chew food.
3. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated.
4. Do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
5. Take antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1 week.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
