HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You can use the wikoryl which is an anti histamine and would help to reduce the allergic reaction but the ampoxin is an antibiotic and would only be effective in a bacterial infection.
Colds are usually viral not bacterial so the antibiotics would not be needed for the normal common cold.
A decongestant would help to reduce any nasal congestion. This can be oral or topical drops for the nose. Should be available at your local pharmacy.
I hope this helps
