Hello. Your friend's symptoms are likely due to allergic rhinitis (dust allergy) or a mild viral cold. For relief, they can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine for the runny and blocked nose. For throat pain, use medicated lozenges and do warm salt-water gargles twice daily. Steam inhalation will help clear the nasal congestion. As precautions, avoid cold drinks, stay hydrated with warm fluids, and always wear a mask while cleaning to prevent dust exposure. If symptoms persist beyond a few days or fever develops, please consult a doctor.
