The cold, cough, and sore throat remedies market includes over-the-counter synthetic and natural agents to relieve cough, expectorants, sore throat remedies, cold remedies, and preparations against flu-like infections. It also includes remedies like gargling with a mixture of ½ to 1 teaspoon of salt and warm water and drinking warm liquids that feel soothing to the throat.

There is a high demand for these remedies in antibiotics, decongestants, bronchodilators, expectorants, and antihistamines, which drive the market's growth.
