Internal Medicine | Adolescent Medicine Questions Cold and Cough Medicines

My teen has a bad head cold. How should we treat it?

My daughter is 15 years old and has a really severe head cold. So far, we have given her DayQuil and NyQuil to give her some relief, but it's not really working. What else should we do?

You have to be very careful with symptoms like cold. Head congestion. Coughing, and of course fever, chills, sore throat. As it could be symptoms of the real flu or bacterial infections,
if there is no improvement in 2 days with the use of OTC meds, I suggest you gotta take her to her doctor or Urgent care.
