I have a cough with yellow phlegm and a runny nose. What medicine should I take to treat these symptoms?

Asked by Female, 35 · 3 days ago

These symptoms are common with viral respiratory infections. To manage them, you can try generic guaifenesin to help thin and clear the yellow phlegm, and a saline nasal spray or a generic antihistamine like cetirizine for the runny nose. Staying well-hydrated and resting are also highly effective. Yellow phlegm is a normal sign of your immune system fighting the illness and does not necessarily mean you need antibiotics. If you develop a high fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, or if symptoms last longer than 10 days, please see a doctor for a proper evaluation.
