Hi,

Cheston cold tablet is the brand name for the generic compositions of :
- paracetamol
- Phenylpropanolamine HCL
- Cetirizine Hydrochloride

It will improve the symptoms of cold and cough. You can take it thrice daily (total 3 tablets/day).

If coughing is associated with phlegm and discomfort in the chest area, then, further evaluation by your doctor is needed to exclude bacterial infection (bronchitis, pneumonia).

If infection is confirmed, then, Cheston cold tablet is not the right choice as you might need to take:
- antibiotics to fight infection
- antipyretic such as acetaminophen/ibuprofen
- mucolytics (carbocysteine, ambroxol, bromhexine)

Inhalation therapy together with increased consumption of fluids (water, tea) are also highly recommended.

Wish fast recovery!
