My mother has a severe runny nose, heavy head, and a cough while taking Cetirizine and Okacet Cold. What other medicines can she take for relief?

Your mother is currently taking both Cetirizine and Okacet Cold. Please note that Okacet Cold already contains Cetirizine; taking both together results in double-dosing, which can cause severe drowsiness and dry mouth. She should stop taking them together immediately. For relief from her heavy head and runny nose, she can safely use saline nasal sprays and try steam inhalation. Since she has a persistent cough, she may require a specific cough syrup depending on whether her cough is dry or productive. Please consult a doctor for a proper physical evaluation before adding any new medications.
