cold remedy
Cough syrup, perhaps
A cold remedy is any medicine or treatment intended to relieve cold symptoms—decongestants, cough suppressants, throat lozenges, or home preparations like hot lemon and honey.
No cold remedy cures the common cold; they only ease discomfort while the illness runs its course: I stopped at the pharmacy for cold remedies.
