Personally, if the problem is runny nose then rather than taking systemic medications which contain multiple drugs, most of which you don't need, I prefer to use nasal spray

 

Ask for nose drops/spray containing Oxymetazoline, there are a number if brands.

A decongestant that has same or similar strength of psuediephridine   which can't get over counter. What generic drug is there in Thailand ?

Decolgen works for me. Should be readily available anywhere.

There are many but none of the pills sold over the counter are very effective as decongestants. NBasal sporays/drips work better. Otherwise, see a doctor for pseudephrine.

Google  nac n-acetyl cysteine , it may works for you

I went to Chula hospital 3 days.ago and there is not out patient for upper respiratory problems. They send you to emergency section and want to do a covid test at huge expense . I had 2 tests a week before that were negative so no need . It's a cold developed from Aircon after returning to Thailand 3 weeks previous . Unbelievable that cant get to see a doc or nurse that can prescribe come cold relief with that well known decongestant which they are paranoid about giving !

A common cold, even when not treated, should not last three weeks, I think. Is there something in the air to which your nose is allergic? When did you last have the aircon filter cleaned or replaced?

Why do you prefer Tiffy? Does it cost less or is it the color of the box. The medication is exactly the same.
