Suggest Treatment For Severe Sneezing And Cold

default
Posted on Tue, 7 Oct 2014
Question: I'm prone to catching cold and start sneezing when weather changes or I get drenched too much in rain. I happens once in every 2-3 months. And it doesn't goes away until I take antibiotics or medications.
Can you please suggest me some OTC medicine which I can take in cases of mild sneezing which is not going past 2-3 days.

Can take antiallergics

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

You can take over the counter anti-allergic medicine like cetirizine to control sneezing.

Tab Cetirizine can be taken upto two times a day. It should be taken as and when required.

Hope it helps.
