Chlorpheniramine blocks histamine receptors and readily enters the brain, which is why it dries secretions well but also causes drowsiness. It is a standard ingredient of cold combinations.
Paracetamol blocks the production of prostaglandins in the brain — the chemical messengers that create the sensation of pain and push the body's temperature set-point up. It relieves pain and brings fever down but has very little effect on inflammation.
