What does だけでなく mean here?

だけでなく means not only ... but also ....

In this sentence:

• 鼻水だけでなく = not only a runny nose
• せきも出る = a cough also appears / I’m also coughing

So the pattern is:

• A だけでなく B も ...
• not only A, but B also ...

A very common translation pattern is:

• X だけでなく Y も = not only X, but also Y

Why is there a も after せき?

The も matches the earlier だけでなく.

The structure is:

• 鼻水だけでなく、せきも出る
• not only runny nose, but cough also occurs

When Japanese says A だけでなく B も, the も helps mark the also part.

So:

• だけでなく = not only
• も = also / too

They work together.
