Question : Hi Doctor,

I am down with cough and cold plus sore throat. This might be because I was traveling overnight and was under heavy mansoon rains. Any medicine that can help me out. I have tried Cetrizine because had fever and flexon which was given by Deloitte doctors but now I have cough and cold.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.

There is possibility of some infection.
So just symptomatic treatment may not help.
Better to consult physician once and get examined.
Then with his advice you can go for antibiotic course and cough syrup.
You can continue cetrizine and flexon to get relief from symptoms with your doctor's advice.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
Take care.
