Hello. For a continuous cough and cold, the right medicine depends on your symptoms. If you have a dry, tickly cough, a cough suppressant like Dextromethorphan can help. For a wet cough with mucus, an expectorant like Guaifenesin is recommended. For cold symptoms like a runny nose or congestion, an antihistamine (like Cetirizine) or a decongestant can provide relief. Remember to rest, stay hydrated, and try steam inhalation. Since your cough is continuous, please consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis before starting medication, especially if you develop a fever, breathing difficulties, or if symptoms last more than 10 days.
