Sore throat, cold and fever is most often a sign of a viral infection. Most of these infections begin with a viral infection and end up as a bacterial infection. When you just have all these 3 symptoms in the beginning, you can take a good supportive treatment. Supportive treatment I mean a good hydration, that means to take plenty of oral diet that is water. Take paracetamols for fever and take antihistamine for cold, that is cetirizine, levocetrizine. Also your body will demand for a lot of rest in viral infection. If with all these things, if you are not improving, then you are having bacterial infection.
