  • That’s perfectly fine. It’s not even really proven that additional water intake does anything at all. However, it usually makes you feel better which is why doctors recommend it and you should kep doing it. It’s ultimately treating a symptom, the miserable feeling.

    The term “cold medication” is basically short for “take these things if you experience the symptoms commonly associated with the common cold”. There’s a reason why the question whether humans have “found a cure for the common cold” is a science-fiction thing - we can’t “cure” it. But a cold is (in most cases) so very harmless that it’s just not worth the effort to do more than treat symptoms. Most bodies are able to deal with the underlying causes just fine on their own if you just take a couple of days of rest to let yours to its thing.
