Antibiotics: Avoid them, URIs are viral, Only when superinfected should you consider an antibiotic. A good guess is to check the sputum or nasal discharge. It should be clear to yellow. Green or rarely deep yellow-green suggests that the irritated membranes have succumbed to bacterial. Meanwhile try Mucinex (guaifenesin) for 12-hour relief "DM" for a cough. "D" for sniffles. When infected, try a Z-Pack.
