Over the counter medicines are fine. For any prescription medicines, it is better to have a doctor's prescription to show if asked. Bringing regular medicines is not banned.

No problem with fever and cough medicines but why do you want to bring them?? There are plenty of pharmacies locally where you can buy these.
