Think that you need talk to your doctor first.
He/She probably needs to determine if you have allergies and not a cold. An itchy throat is often caused by an allergic reaction, but sometimes a cold with drainage in the back of your throat can cause itchiness as well.
Find that out first, then get the medicine your doctor prescribes.

I know it sounds dodgy but straight whisky is really good. It warms you up and takes the edge off the uncomfortable feelings. It's what was given to people found after being lost in the snow. If the problem persists I really think you should see a doctor.

sleep and rug up warm. seriously no medicine actually will treat your virus. treat your symptoms. take hot honey and leam to reduce itchyness of your throat. you can take paracetamol (advil equivalent) that comes combined with ibuprofen to help reduce inflammation. take seudoephodrine for the runny nose (and if it gets blocked which i predict it will) use a nose spray to dilate the airways. (dimetapp)
sorry names might be different because im from oz

you can take it anytime, not just in the day.
advill ( 2 tablets) and motrin are great as well.
drink fluids and get rest!!
