For a common cold and cough, treatment focuses on relieving symptoms while your body recovers. For fever or body aches, you can take paracetamol or ibuprofen. For a runny nose and sneezing, an antihistamine like cetirizine is helpful. If you have a dry cough, dextromethorphan can soothe it, whereas guaifenesin helps clear a wet cough. Remember to stay well-hydrated, rest, and try warm saline gargles. Please consult a doctor in person if you develop a high fever lasting over three days, difficulty breathing, or if symptoms worsen significantly. Feel better soon!
