This is a pattern common to many respiratory viruses and some that involve both the airways and the gut. A visit to a doc for guidance would be prudent if this is interfering with your life.

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
