I've had a runny nose for the last couple of days. Do you have any recommendations for a medicine that can help? I've tried using Otrivin, but it feels a bit too intense for me. Could you recommend a tablet that might work better?

I've been dealing with a cold, cough, and fever about 10 to 15 days ago. Now, even though my body still feels hot, there's no fever when I use a thermometer. I'm also experiencing a bit of weakness. Any idea what these symptoms could mean? What medication could help prevent or cure this?
