The most common cause of cough and cold in this age is due to viral infection.In this condition antibiotic is not needed and symptoms usually subside within few days.But if symptoms are severe enough to hamper daily activities it should be treated conservatively.
For cough and running nose syrup containing antihistaminic like chlorpheniramine with nasal decongestant like phenylephrine helps.
Giving this two to three times a day for 4-5 days will help.
Steam inhalation and avoidance of cold food items helps in early recovery.
