Can u take the medicine of cough to treat cold as well and vise versa or no they both are different?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cold medicine : There are several different types of medications used to treat the symptoms of coughs and colds. Some help calm a cough, some increase the cough to help move the mucous. Some dry up a runny nose, some help congestion. Read the label to see if the medicine you are thinking about buying covers the symptoms you have. I hope you feel better soon.
