Can you please prescribe a good cold tablet available here. Also not able to get a good sleep for last 2 to 3 days and wakes up every couple of hours at night.
Brief Answer:
Zyrtec or nyquil
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Paracetamol tablets are not effective in treating common cold. I would suggest you try tab zyrtec or nyquil. Both are available over the counter there.
In addition to medicines, you should also consider steam inhalation.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Regards
Zyrtec or nyquil
