Management of Multiple Symptoms in the Common Cold: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract
The common cold is a self-limiting viral infection of the upper respiratory tract that results in a constellation of symptoms, including nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, sore throat, cough, headache, and fatigue. Its management focuses on symptomatic relief, as no specific antiviral therapies are available for most causative agents. This paper reviews the pathophysiology of common cold symptoms and evidence-based approaches to their management, highlighting pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. A focus is placed on combination therapies and patient-centered approaches to address multiple symptoms concurrently.
