Suggest Medications For Cold.
I have had a "cold" for going on day 5. was feeling better on day 3, then day 4 was a hammer. Couldn't sleep because of mucus buildup, sneezing, coughing. No fever, no white pockets, no aches, no sinus headache. Just a little run down.
Should I go to the doctor? Could it be something else?

Hello,
Take steam inhalation twice a day,take plenty of hot liquids like hot soups,hot tea,hot coffee etc.
Do hot water gargles.
You may put nasal decongestant drops like OTRIVIN 2-3 times a day for 4-5 days only.
You shall be allright in next 3-5 days as these symtoms are due to after effects of cold virus.
Avoid cold drinks.
Thanks
