HI,
It seems that you might be having viral infection giving this problem.
If it is not alright within a day or two, there might be having bacterial infection as well.
Then go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Menwhile you can continue with Nyquil medicine as and when required.
Ok and take care.
