Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have cold and cough since 4 days, the treatment you opted is very right. I would suggest you to take a combination of antibiotic, nasal decongestant, antihistamine and mucolytic agent as it will give you immediate relief. Take combination of mucomyst and phenylephrine. Do warm saline gargles. Avoid hot , sharp , spicy food and cold water. Keep sipping warm water whole day. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days , if it keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You can take decongestive syrup as well such as Zyrcold.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
