If the patient's cold has obvious fever, headache, muscle aches, chills, etc. Then we can use some anti-cold drugs, such as compound aspirin, ibuprofen sustained-release agent and ibuprofen suspension, to relieve the symptoms. If nasal catarrh is the main symptom, and nasal congestion and runny nose are obvious, some drugs containing chlorpheniramine or pseudoephedra can also be used to contract the blood vessels of nasal mucosa and relieve the symptoms of sneezing, nasal congestion and runny nose.

If coughing not only affects sleep, we can also use some drugs to eliminate phlegm and relieve cough, such as compound methoxyphenamine and buckwheat tablets.
