Hello,

Thank you for your query.

As you have complain of cough and cold, I want to know if there is expectoration along with cough if so, what colour is of the expectoration?

If no expectoration than Antihistaminics like Levocetrizine hydrochloride or Chlorpheniramine maleate will help.

If yellow or green expectoration is there than you will also require antibiotic like Azithromycin.

Hope this will help.

Thank you,
