Rest, fluids: Neti pot if you're congested. If you don't have ulcers or other health problems then Ibuprofen works well for throat pain. If it's dry in your home, try a humidifier. Rest, fluids, take it easy. If you start getting bad throat pain and fever, someone should look at your throat. Hope you feel better soon. Be sure you wash your hands often to keep others safe and cover your mouth when coughing.
