<human>: I have a sore throat and a cough, what can I do?
<bot>: You should drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. You could also try using a humidifier in your home to help loosen congestion. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen to reduce fever and inflammation. If the symptoms persist for more than two weeks, it may be time to see your doctor.
