As an AI language model, I can provide some information on common cold and flu remedies that were used in the Soviet Union during the 1930s. However, it's important to note that pharmaceutical medication use during this time period was not as widespread as it is today, and many remedies were based on natural or traditional medicine. Therefore, specific medication brands for the common cold during the 1930s in the Soviet Union may not have been as prevalent as they are today.
That being said, some remedies that were commonly used during the 1930s in the Soviet Union for the common cold included:
# Aspirin (Аспирин) - This medication was commonly used as a pain reliever and fever reducer, and was sometimes used to relieve symptoms of the cold and flu.
# Herbal teas - Teas made from various herbs, such as chamomile, elderflower, and lime blossom, were often used to help alleviate symptoms of the cold such as cough and sore throat.
# Mustard plasters - Mustard plasters were a common remedy used to relieve chest congestion and coughing. They were made by mixing dry mustard with flour and water to create a paste, which was then spread onto a cloth and applied to the chest.
# Garlic - Garlic was commonly used in traditional medicine to help boost the immune system and alleviate cold symptoms.
# Honey and lemon - A mixture of honey and lemon was often used as a natural cough syrup to soothe sore throats and alleviate coughing.
It's important to note that medical practices and treatments during the 1930s may have been different from what is commonly used today, and some of these remedies may not be supported by modern medical research.
