Findings from included studies suggest that mono-herbal preparations of S.nigra berry (in extract or lozenge formulation) may reduce influenza-type symptoms, including fever, headache, nasal congestion and nasal mucous discharge in adults, when taken within the first 48 hours of symptom onset. Evidence regarding the effectiveness of S.nigra berry on the symptom of cough, and need for / use of medicines (including antibiotics) to treat acute respiratory infections, is currently unclear and inconsistent. Overall, the evidence obtained from the five studies included in this review involving 936 people suggests that mono-herbal preparations of S.nigra berry when taken close to the onset of symptoms and for up to two weeks, may assist in relieving the symptoms of the common cold and influenza.	./cache/cord-320931-2ycf6qd8.txt	./txt/cord-320931-2ycf6qd8.txt
