Suggest Treatment For Dry Cough And Sore Throat

I have had a cough for a month now. At times I cough up mucus and other times it is only a dry cough. I took antibiotics and they didn t help so I assume the infection is viral. I also have a very stuffy and runny nose and sometimes a bit of a sore throat. The worst part is a sharp pain in my side when I cough, breath deeply, laugh or sneeze. I was coughing very hard and felt a pop where the pain is. Now it hurts even more. What can I do?
