How Can Cold And Sore Throat Be Treated?

This is probably a stupid question but I got some Family Wellness brand max strength mucus relief; cold, flu and sore throat liquid and am told it will help greatly but it s late here and I am wondering if it will keep me up or if it could cause drowsiness or effect neither one? Thanks for your time! -Melanie

dear user

common cold is vira infection that infect alot of people and you need not to worry
these symptoms will take few days and decrease gradually as it is the normal course of common cold

try to drink alot of fluids and bed rest ,avoid any stress or effort
you can take tylenol as analgesic for relief of symptoms
also gargle your throat with saline to decontaminate it

if symptoms persist you can take amoxicillin as it will help alot

dont worry as improvement will occur rapidly in few days


hope that helps you
