I'm dealing with a really annoying dry cough and a blocked nose that's making it impossible to sleep at night. I went to see a doctor, and they gave me some medicines like Doxin to take twice a day, along with some other tablets, but it feels like things are only getting worse. I'm not sure if the meds are supposed to work this way or if I should be worried. Could something else be going on?

I'm having a sore throat that's gotten a lot better over the last couple of days and some discomfort in my chest. I've also been coughing a bit, mostly like I'm trying to clear my throat. I got back from Delhi about 12 days ago and I do have anxiety and GERD. I'm a smoker but I've cut down a lot recently. I haven't had any fever or cold symptoms though. Could this still be corona?
