Suggest Treatment For Cold And Cough

Upper respiratory tract infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing to us.
Your symptoms could be mostly due to Upper respiratory tract infection. I would suggest you antihistamines like cetrizine 10mg one tab before bed for cold for 3 days. Antipyretics like Paracetamol whenever you get fever.
Nasal decongestants like Nasoclear normal saline drops. Instill 2 drops in each nostril 4-5 times a day. You will get relief from cold.
Steam inhalation 3 times a day for 15 minutes. It effectively decreases cold and cough.
Cough suppressants like cherry cold 2 time a day. These are over the counter medication.
If you will not improve after 3 days of medication then you need to visit a doctor to start on antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
If you do not have any queries you close the discussion and rate the answer if possible.
