During this winter season, my throat often gets dry suddenly & then i have nasal discharge turning into cough & cold what's wrong & how should i fix?

URI or common cold: URI is medical term for upper respiratory infection, otherwise known as common cold. Best way to avoid this regardless of season is to wash hands regularly and avoid others who are sick. Seriously! By the way, colds are usually caused by viruses so they won't respond to antibiotics.
