During hot weather, if you catch a cold with clear nasal discharge, you may take Western anti-cold medications under the guidance of a doctor. Commonly used drugs include paracetamol-phenylephrine-chlorpheniramine oral solution and phenylephrine-dextromethorphan-triprolidine capsules. Traditional Chinese patent medicines for colds can also be used, such as honeysuckle oral liquid or wind-heat cold granules. Maintain a light diet and drink plenty of water during medication.
