Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query.

Yes, the medical store person is right. The normal medication for cough and cold is Febrex plus. It is normally prescribed in this kind of condition and to be taken about 3 times in a day.It contains medicines for fever as well as cough.

Still I would like to know from which place you belong so that local market can be properly understood.

Please reply.

Regards,

Dr.Pragnesh
