I'm really struggling with a bad cold and throat pain for the last week. I tried taking cetirizine but it hasn't helped at all. I really need to get better quickly. Can you suggest anything that might work? Honestly, I'm getting a bit worried.

I'm having a hard time with this cold that's been hanging around for a month now. It seems like every time I take cold medicine, it clears up, but as soon as I stop, it just comes back again. Do you have any suggestions for a good medicine or any advice on what I should do next?
