HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The presence of new onset fever and headaches imply that you have a new infection likely viral.
This would cause worsening of your cough.
The presence of post nasal drip may affect your ability to clear your throat. The use of decongestants (both oral and topical) and antihistamines may help you.
A mucolytic (medication to help break up the mucus), may also be helpful. This includes medications such as bisolvan, mucomyst, guifenesin.
I hope this helps
