Brief Answer:
Advised antihistamines.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Your cold may be due to allergy or due to changes in weather.
I suggest you Cetrizine 5 mg twice a day.
I also suggest you Nasoclear nasal saline drops. Instill 2 drops in each nostril 4-6 times a day.
Take steam inhalation twice a day.
Avoid exposure to cold weather and eating cold food. Avoid exposure to dust.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
