What medicine should I take for a cold, cough, runny nose, but no fever?

Patient's question:

This winter hasn't rained much, and the flu has been very severe. I also got infected. After sleeping well in the morning, I started coughing, sneezing, and the symptoms were very serious, though I wasn't running a fever. The hospital was too crowded, and I didn't want to go to crowded places. I wanted to ask the doctor what medicine I should take for a cold, cough, and sneezing without a fever.

Doctor's answer:

Colds, coughs, runny nose, no fever, it might be caused by catching a cold. If it's a viral infection, most people would have a fever. For your condition, you can take ordinary cold medicine orally. Also, drink more water and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. You can stew some rock sugar pears, which have the effects of moistening the lungs and cooling the blood. If you have yellow phlegm, you might need to take anti-inflammatory medication. The above can be used for reference.
