I have had a cold and headache for a long time, and when I take medicines like pseudoephedrine combination, I feel excessive thirst. What alternative medicine can I use for relief?

A prolonged cold and headache may be due to an allergy or sinus-related issues, and medicines like pseudoephedrine can sometimes cause side effects such as dryness and excessive thirst. You can consider milder options, such as antihistamines or nasal saline sprays, to relieve symptoms without causing much dryness. Steam inhalation and staying well hydrated can also help reduce congestion and headaches. Consult a doctor to choose a suitable alternative based on your symptoms and to avoid unwanted side effects.
