If a patient has a cough and a runny nose, he or she should take symptomatic medication according to his or her condition, as follows: 1. Common viral cold: Patients can take oral cold medication such as compound aminoglutethimide tablets to relieve symptoms. 2. Upper airway cough syndrome: If allergic rhinitis causes upper airway cough syndrome, such patients can take oral antihistamines such as cetirizine and loratadine. 3. Secondary lower respiratory tract infection: If the cough is caused by a lower respiratory tract infection secondary to a cold, it is necessary to add the appropriate antibiotics to reduce inflammation and provide symptomatic treatment. All in all, as the causes and conditions of cough and runny nose are different, the choice of drugs should be analyzed and judged specifically.
