I am having cold and occasional cough (not dry) for the past five, six days. I am taking home remedies like salt water gargling lemon tea with honey and steam inhalation. I feel much better now but it is not completely cured. Please suggest remedy. I believe it started with dust allergy. As per aarogya setu app I am safe for covid-19. I'm 65 and diabetic & hypertensive.

You might be having simple flu. Usually, antibiotics are not given for them and it may take ~7 days to improve. Continue home remedies, if still condition doesn't improve, you can take antibotics for that.
