I have had a cough for the past 3 days, and I have been taking Coriza tablets. Is this the right treatment?
A cough for 3 days is most often caused by a viral infection and usually improves on its own. Coriza tablets contain cetirizine, phenylephrine and paracetamol, which help with allergy symptoms, nasal congestion and fever, but they do not directly treat cough. Supportive care, such as rest, good hydration, warm fluids, and honey for a dry cough, can be helpful. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist beyond 1 to 2 weeks or if you develop breathlessness, high fever or chest pain.
