NSAID (like ibuprofen) and paracetamol. Honey. Some over-the-counter throat pills with local anesthetics

You asked for something that works. Honey is closest, its not a miracle cure but it helps. Aspirin is semi-natural, but youre better off taking ibuprofen because aspirin both thins your blood and upsets your stomach even more than ibuprofen or other NSAIDs. So i cant suggest that. If your stomach is upset then try some PPI (like omeprazole or so) over the counter if its possible or ask for a prescription.

Paracetamol has very little side effects. Morphine is natural but obviously i cant recommend that for a sore throat/common cold... natural doesnt automatically mean better. If a substance has no side effects, it probably has no effects whatsoever.

Time is also a good cure for a common cold as it sound like you have that. If youre in doubt consult your doctor especially if ur headache is severe. But by now you probably got better already?
