🩺 Comfort and Symptom Relief

• Rest well and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids like water, herbal teas, or broth.
• Use over-the-counter cold medicines such as ones containing ingredients like paracetamol for headache and fever relief, and decongestants to ease nasal stuffiness. Cozy Plus Tablet, which contains paracetamol and other ingredients, may help relieve your cold and headache symptoms but should be used as directed by a doctor.

🩺 When to See a Doctor

• If your headache is severe, persistent, or worsening despite home care.
