Brief Answer:
Syrup like Benadryl or TusQ-Dx will help, consult doctor in person

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Cold and cough could be due to mild viral illness. A cough syrup like Benadryl or TusQ-Dx is ideal, you can take 5 ml thrice a day for 5 days and see how it goes. Please consult your local doctor to get yourself examined if you don't see any improvement within 3 to 5 days or if you develop fever or any other symptoms.

I hope this helps. Take care.

Regards
