A viral cold or allergy is frequently the cause of a runny nose and sore throat. Get plenty of rest, consume warm liquids, gargle with warm salt water, and stay away from cold beverages, smoking, and dust. Some people benefit from antihistamine medications for sneezing and runny noses if prescribed by a physician, while paracetamol may help with body aches or throat pain. Congestion can also be relieved by inhaling steam. See a doctor for a complete evaluation if you experience symptoms that last for more than a few days, such as a high temperature, difficulty swallowing, breathing difficulties, or white patches in your throat.
