Generally cough and cold is a self limiting disease.It is mostly due to viral cause and only symptomatic treatment is required in most of the cases.If there is super added infection then antibiotics can be given.
She is rightly taking cetrizine.She should continue it for five days.
At present she should take combination tablet of Ofloxacin and Ornidazole.
