My girlfriend has severe cold for a couple of days. Water is coming out of her eyes. A lot of weakness. I gave her paracetamol day before yesterday which brought her temperature to normal. Also I gave her an antibiotic yesterday for cough. Please give me a quick advice. Thanks

Hi..I.advice you not to give antibiotics without consulting your doctor as it needs to be given in proper dose and duration. If not given in such manner resistence will develop and she will not respond later. You can give paracetamol and cough syrup for symptomatic relief.
