I have been suffering from a cold and cough for the past three days. I took Corex syrup, but I have not completely recovered. Could you please suggest suitable medicines or antibiotics for quicker relief?
A common cold with a cough is usually caused by a viral infection, so antibiotics are not needed unless a bacterial infection is confirmed. You may continue a simple cough syrup, take paracetamol for fever or discomfort, stay well hydrated, and use steam inhalation for relief. Most cases improve within a week. If your symptoms persist or worsen, or if you develop a high fever or breathing difficulty, please consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
