URI: Sounds like you've caught a viral cold. Supportive tx is my recommendation i.e. Fluids, decongestants, otc pain relievers.

Symptom relief: Saltwater gargles are great for a sore throat. Mix a teaspoon of salt in 8 ounces of warm water – gargle with this several times a day. You can gargle with aloe vera juice a couple of times per day. A mixture of chamomile tea with honey and a small amount of lemon juice. For nasal congestion consider use of a netti pot.
