View allI'm dealing with a cold and a runny nose for the last 15 days, and I've been taking Cheston Cold. It seems to help, but only for a day, and then the symptoms come back. Could you help me understand why this might be happening and what I can do to properly get rid of it? Its getting frustrating!
Avoid common irritants such as cigarette smoke and sudden temperature changes. Drink plenty of water. Use a humidifier. Try nasal saline sprays or rinses. If the runny nose is a persistent, watery discharge, particularly if accompanied by sneezing and itchy or watery eyes, your symptoms may be allergy-related and an over-the-counter antihistamine may help...take OTC antipyretics along with above... If symptoms persists more than 3 days even after OTC medication consult physician they will help you.
