1. Decongestants: Help reduce nasal congestion (e.g., pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine).
2. Antihistamines: For runny nose and sneezing (e.g., cetirizine, loratadine).
3. Cough Suppressants: For dry cough (e.g., dextromethorphan).
4. Expectorants: Help clear mucus from the chest (e.g., guaifenesin).
5. Pain Relievers: For headache, body aches, or fever (e.g., acetaminophen, ibuprofen).
Always check with a doctor before taking any medication, especially for children or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
