About Cold, Cough & Flu Medicines
The common cold and cough are caused by viral infections of the upper respiratory tract. While antibiotics are not effective against viruses, several medicines can significantly relieve symptoms and help you recover faster.
For dry cough (non-productive cough), antitussive medicines containing dextromethorphan or codeine (Rx) suppress the cough reflex. For wet or productive cough, expectorants like guaifenesin help loosen mucus, making it easier to cough up.
Nasal congestion responds well to decongestants like pseudoephedrine or oxymetazoline nasal sprays. Antihistamines such as cetirizine or chlorpheniramine help with runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes.
Combination cold medicines offer convenience by addressing multiple symptoms in a single product. Throat lozenges with menthol, honey, or local anesthetics can soothe sore throat discomfort. Steam inhalation remains a time-tested home remedy for congestion.
