It’s not a subjective thing. Cold medicines treat symptoms, not the disease. Cold and allergies have common symptoms.
If your concern is that cold medicines don’t work for your allergies, thwn those tend not to work for colds either.
If the medicine is trying to use phenylephrine in a pill, that doesn’t do anything. You might also want to skip the acetaminophen usually included and you have zero need for that, but not every co of d medicine has that.

I’m telling you it’s medically meaningless. Decongestants are decongestants. They aren’t ‘cold’ medicines or ‘allergy’ medicines. They act on inflammation in the nose and reduce congestion. How it’s advertised doesn’t make a bit of difference to what the medicine does.
