It helps with the symptoms: makes you sneeze less, helps clear the sinuses, helps with the headaches (or that feeling that your head weighs two tons), etc.

I don't know where you got your pharmaceutical diploma but paracetamol doesn't do anything for the sneeze. It only limit fever and headaches.

Most of the time it acts mostly as a placebo and only worth using unless you get actual measured fever.
