A member asked:
Is it really necessary to take the medicine of cough and cold or no in 1 week its gone ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cough and cold: Over the counter medications for coughs and colds may help a person feel better while waiting for the viral illness itself to resolve. For most people with a viral respiratory infection, no medication is necessary and may cause harm through side effects. There are exceptions, of course.
