It probably is just a common cold. Your sinuses get blocked, making it painful and you also get a sore throat. Here are some ways to get rid of the cold symptoms:
Try taking a day off, from school or work. You wouldn't want to feel uncomfortable at school, with a blocked nose, runny nose, and the urge to sneeze every 10 minutes. This also helps limit your spread of the illness to others.
Stop the spreading of germs. Don't allow others to eat or drink from anything you have come in contact with, and change your pillow cases every day or two while you're feeling ill. This will limit your chances of spreading the illness, as well as help remove the germs from your environment.
Drink lots of water or juice. Staying hydrated will reduce the effects of many symptoms such as headaches and sore throat. You may go to the bathroom a lot, but it's no different than your body trying to get rid of stuff by making you cough and sneeze. A good indication that you are drinking enough fluids is that your urine will be almost clear. The deeper yellows imply higher concentrations of waste in your body that are not dissolving and diluting enough - so, raise your fluid intake. Hot soups are another good way to take fluids in.
Eat chicken soup. There has been some scientific evidence to suggest that chicken soup slows down the movement of certain white blood cells which cause the symptoms of a cold[1], in addition the hot liquid from the soup can help clear the nasal passages and soothe your throat. In addition, some view the combination of salt, heat and fluid in chicken soup as an aid in fighting infection.
Wash your hands after you blow your nose. While this will not help you, it will reduce the likelihood of the virus being transmitted to someone else.
Take cold medicine only if you need to, although not scientifically demonstrated, it is a common belief that symptomatic treatments may prolong the cold.
Consider taking a vitamin C supplement, drinking orange juice, and eating some fruits. Although the effectiveness of vitamin C is widely disputed, many vitamin C proponents advise the use of high dosages (in excess of 2g) of vitamin C to reduce the duration of a cold (see warning).
Get plenty of rest and try not to exert yourself -- stressful activity can prolong a cold. You may want to add an additional pillow if you find that you cough more when lying down.
Take a hot bath/shower to clear up nasal passages. If you have long hair, use a blow dryer to minimize losing your body heat afterwards.
Try not to smoke. Tobacco use can temporally weaken the immune system and increase the severity of many cold symptoms.
Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages. It is commonly believed that alcohol reduces a person's white blood cell count.
Avoid human contact as much as possible. During all stages of a cold, the cold virus (usually rhinoviruses, or coronaviruses) can be easily communicated to other people. Staying home from work or school is the
