Sore throat cough: Most likely a viral syndrome causing your problem. Gargle with warm water mixed with half teaspoon of salt, take honey and hot tea four times per day. Drink a lot of fluid. Stay warm and get good sleep. If you get worse call your doctor for a check up and treatment.

Cough: First check with your doctor to find the cause of your strong cough. Use a vaporizer, drink tea with honey or lemon. Put vaporub on your chest when you go to bed. Get a cough medicine if you dont need an antibiotic.
