A severe cold is usually caused by a viral infection and typically resolves within 7?10 days. To manage your symptoms, get plenty of rest and stay well-hydrated with water or clear fluids. Over-the-counter medicines such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help reduce fever and body aches, while decongestants or saline nasal sprays may relieve nasal congestion. If your symptoms worsen or persist beyond 10 days, consult a doctor to rule out a secondary infection or other illness.

For a common cold, treatment mainly focuses on relieving symptoms. You may take an antipyretic (such as paracetamol) or an NSAID (such as ibuprofen) to reduce fever, headache, and body aches. Nasal decongestants (such as phenylephrine) and antihistamines (such as cetirizine) can help relieve nasal congestion and a runny nose, but should be used cautiously, especially if you have other health problems. Ensure adequate rest, stay well-hydrated, and consult a doctor if symptoms worsen or persist beyond 7?10 days.

A mild and commonly recommended medication for a runny nose caused by a cold is an oral antihistamine such as Cetirizine or Levocetirizine. Alternatively, using a simple saline nasal spray can help clear the nasal passages and provide gentle, soothing relief. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids and get adequate rest. If symptoms persist for more than a few days or worsen, consult a doctor for further evaluation.

Allergic skin reactions on the legs may occur due to contact with allergens, insect bites, irritants, or other triggers. To relieve symptoms, apply a mild topical corticosteroid cream (such as hydrocortisone) and take a non-drowsy oral antihistamine (such as cetirizine) to reduce itching and inflammation. Identify and avoid potential triggers, and avoid scratching, using harsh soaps or detergents, or wearing tight clothing. If the rash spreads, becomes painful, or does not improve within a few days, consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

If you have a severe cold with a burning throat, drink warm fluids, such as herbal teas or soups, to soothe the irritation. Gargle with warm salt water to reduce inflammation, and consider over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol for discomfort. Medicated throat lozenges or anaesthetic sprays can also provide temporary numbing relief. If your symptoms worsen, last more than a week, or you develop a high fever, please consult a doctor.
