Cough with sputum and nose running
I went for shopping 3 days back and it was raining outside. I think I caught cold as the very next day I started having itchy throat. And now, my body pains so much that even touching hurts. I cough day and night. Last night I woke up from sleep to cough. And I couldn't pull myself up in the morning because of weakness and body pain. I'm eating paracetamol from yesterday. 3 dose in total so far including this morning. But the symptoms don't seem to go away. What diet should I have which helps to ease these symptoms and are there more medicines that I should take?

Sounds like viral flu or more likely covid.
Would need to discuss your vaccination status, time of onset and progress of symptoms to provide best line of treatment.
Kindly book an appointment to discuss further
