Cough & Cold

Cold and cough medicines can help relieve symptoms of a common cold. The symptoms of a cold can include a sore throat, stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, and coughing.
You don't usually need to treat every cold with medication. It takes it's due course and then gets better with what we call "Gharelu Nuskhe". Antibiotics have no role in treating cold/cough unless absolutely necessary. But sometimes the symptoms can keep you awake or cause a lot of discomfort. In that case, cold and cough medicines can be helpful.
In most cases, you don’t need to see your doctor when you have a common cold or cough. However, in these precedent times, it is necessary that you consult a doctor immediately to better understand the severity of your situation.
