Coughs associated with the common cold are mainly related to symptoms of the cold itself, such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. These secretions can irritate our throat, causing a cough. Additionally, the cold virus can infect our throat, leading to irritation and coughing. Therefore, for cold-related coughs, taking anti-inflammatory cold medicines can be effective. Over-the-counter cold medicines, including ingredients like phenylephrine, diphenhydramine, and chlorpheniramine, have a good therapeutic effect on colds. Thus, taking a compound cold medicine is advisable. (Specific medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and self-medication should be avoided.)
