For fever and body aches, paracetamol is a safe and effective first option. For cold symptoms like a runny nose, an antihistamine such as cetirizine can help, while a nasal decongestant relieves stuffiness. If you have a dry cough, dextromethorphan can suppress it, whereas guaifenesin helps clear a wet cough. Stay well-hydrated, get plenty of rest, and carefully follow the dosage instructions on the packaging. Avoid mixing multiple multi-symptom cold remedies to prevent accidental overdose. If your symptoms worsen or last more than a few days, please consult a doctor for a proper evaluation.
