Hi, for cold and cough 1. Try to keep body warm
2. Do not eat and drink cold food items
3. Try to avoid persons affected with cold and cough because it spreads through droplet mode by coughing and sneezing
4. Take a tablet of levocetrizine and a basic antibiotic with an expectorant cough syrup for 4 days

Expectorants are of two types:
mucolytics: which thin out tenacious mucoid secretions in the airways
mucokinetics or âexpectorantsâ: they help the clearance of mucus by making coughing easier
both should not be prescribed in dry cough as they are known to aggravate cough.
However, wet cough is due to the secretions in the airways and should never be suppressed. Mucokinetics are used in this case which makes coughing easier.
Mucokinetics are not combined with antitussives....more
