Common cold

The Common Cold is a viral infection that affects the nose, throat, and upper respiratory tract. It is caused by various cold viruses, with the rhinovirus being the most prevalent. Cold symptoms typically include a runny nose, cough, sore throat, sneezing, watery eyes, fatigue, and mild fever, which can last for 7 to 10 days.
Recommended Medications:

Paracetamol / Acetaminophen: A drug used to relieve mild fever, pain, and discomfort associated with the common cold. Should be taken as directed by healthcare professionals.
Decongestants: These medications help to reduce nasal congestion and stuffiness due to the common cold. Examples includePseudoephedrine and Oxymetazoline, but they should be used with caution if you have high blood pressure or heart diseases.
Expectorants (Cough Medicines): Formulations like Guaifenesin help to ease chest congestion and make your mucus thinner and easier to cough up in cases of chest colds.
Cough suppressants: Dextromethorphan and Dextromethorphan polistirex help to suppress cough so that you can sleep better but should not be used in children with flus or other infections.
Saline Nasal Spray: A simple sterile saltwater solution applied to the nasal passages to relieve blocked nose and sinus congestion.

Please consult your healthcare professional before starting any medication, especially in case of chronic illnesses and children.
