Question 1

I'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!

Accepted Answer

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.

I'm trying to find Zevit capsules that my doctor recommended, but they're nowhere to be found online or in local pharmacies. Do you have any idea what I could use as a substitute for this medicine?

I've been getting a fever at night after feeling cold for the past couple of days, but it seems to go away by morning. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing it? Would love to get some insight into what's going on.

You may be experiencing viral syndrome, or developing a viral fever. If your fever is high grade (above 100 degrees Fahrenheit), and associated with chills, you may need to undergo a blood test to rule out diseases like malaria and denggue. Drink plenty of fluids and take sufficient rest.
