I've been struggling with a cold for about a month now. I've tried using medicine and some alternative remedies, but nothing seems to work. Can you suggest what I might do to help reduce this cold?

My mom's come down with a cold, runny nose, and a fever. I have some Dart and Montewok LC at home and I'm wondering if it's okay for her to take both. Are there any issues or side effects we should watch out for? She's also been dealing with a persistent cough for a few months now. Should I be concerned or consider something else for her?

-Your mom can take Dart for fever and Montewok LC for her cold and running nose, as there are no major interactions. However, for her ongoing cough, it's best to consult a doctor to rule out chronic issues like allergies or asthma.

I've had a really bad runny nose for the past six days, and I'm feeling pretty miserable. I heard that taking azithromycin tablets might help with a cold. Do you think it's a good idea for me to try them, or should I consider something else? Is it normal for a cold to last this long?

Take tablet levorid twice a day post meals 1-0-1 for 3 days
