I have had a cough and cold for the past 15 days. What medicine should I take?

Asked by Male, 35 · 4 days ago

A cough and cold lasting 15 days is quite common but warrants a professional evaluation to rule out secondary infections or allergies. Please consult a doctor to have your chest examined. For temporary relief, you can use saline nasal sprays for congestion, steam inhalation, and warm water with honey to soothe your throat. If allergies are suspected, an over-the-counter antihistamine like cetirizine may help. Avoid taking antibiotics without a prescription, as they do not cure viral infections. Stay well-hydrated and rest. See a physician promptly if you experience shortness of breath, chest pain, or a high fever.
