I have a cough and a runny nose, what medicine should I take?

Asked by Female, 30 · 1 day ago

For a cough and runny nose, treatment depends on your symptoms. For a dry cough, a cough suppressant like dextromethorphan can help. For a wet cough with mucus, an expectorant like guaifenesin is suitable. To relieve a runny nose, an over-the-counter antihistamine like cetirizine or loratadine, or a simple saline nasal spray can be very effective. Remember to drink plenty of fluids and get rest. Most viral colds resolve on their own, but please consult a doctor if your symptoms worsen, or if you develop a high fever or difficulty breathing.
