Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain sore throat and cough can occur due to Upper Respiratory Tract Infection also known as Common Cold..
It is commonly seen during weather changes and you need not to worry about it..
Bending of uvula to one side is a commonly seen case and it is not commonly an indication of something serious..
Which bending of uvula can be seen in some neurological disorders also..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated.
He can advise you to take anti allergics like Benadryl or Levocetrizine, anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, decongestant like Phenylephrine, mucolytics like Ambroxol..
Doing warm saline gargles and steam inhalation can help..
You can sip on plenty of warm water throughout the day..
Avoid chilled and spicy food..
Take a soft and bland diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
