If a cold or fever caused by exposure to cold is due to bacterial infection, antibiotics such as amoxicillin or cefixime may be used under the guidance of a doctor. These can be combined with anti-cold medications, such as compound phenylephrine tablets or acetaminophen and rimantadine capsules. If body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, antipyretic drugs such as diclofenac sodium or acetaminophen may be added.
