TL;DR
For symptomatic cold relief, travelers mention paracetamol, an antihistamine, Strepsils and vitamin C. For an early runny nose, medicated drops are discussed; xylometazoline is a decongestant and may not suit everyone.
For an early runny nose, look for medicated drops that are not decongestants. Xylometazoline is a decongestant, so an alternative is needed if it causes an allergy. Pinosol is also mentioned as a familiar option that may be difficult to find.
A travel cold kit mentioned in the discussion includes paracetamol, Strepsils lozenges and vitamin C. This is for symptom relief rather than identifying the cause of illness.
If Theraflu is not readily available, the discussion suggests using paracetamol and an antihistamine as separate temporary options. Theraflu is noted as containing paracetamol plus phenylephrine and pheniramine.
