What to do in case of cough and headache?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If it's just from...: If some cough and headache are just from a mild cold, then the over-the-counter cold medicines are what people usually find relief with. However, some illnesses such as strep throat and "the flu" also have these same symptoms, but can be treated by a doctor.
