I have been suffering from a common cold for about four days, with symptoms including mild fever, headache, body aches, and a stuffy nose and ears. I have been taking over-the-counter medications like Cetirizine, Paracetamol, and Alex Cold Berry Syrup. Are these medicines sufficient, or do I need any additional treatment?

Have a query?

You are using appropriate over-the-counter medicines for your common cold symptoms, including Cetirizine (an antihistamine), Paracetamol (for fever and pain), and Alex Cold Berry Syrup (which helps relieve nasal congestion and allergy symptoms). These are generally sufficient for mild to moderate cold symptoms.
If you want, I can explain how to manage symptoms at home or discuss when antibiotics might be needed.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
