Common cold?: Could be a common cold. Try a decongestant spray or pill to help loosen the mucus, drink lots of fluids and get lots of rest. Irrigate your nasal passages with saline nasal solution to soothe the irritation and unblock the passages.

URI: This could be a different virus. Tips: Sore throat – gargle with warm salt water (1/2 tsp salt in 8 oz of water). Congestion – saline nose drops or netti pot. For anti-inflammatory effect & mobilizing mucus- homemade chicken noodle soup. Hydrate- lots of water/clear broth/ add honey & a small amt. of lemon juice to Chamomile tea. Fever/ pain – acetaminophen / NSAID.
