Question

I often find that when I take medication for colds, I end up dealing with a cough afterwards. Is there a cold medicine that doesn't lead to coughing?

Some cold medications can exacerbate coughing. Look for cold medicines that are labeled as "non-drowsy" or "cough-suppressing." Here are some options: - Medications with acetaminophen (Tylenol) and dextromethorphan (Robitussin) can help alleviate cold symptoms without exacerbating cough. - Medications with diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can also provide relief from cold symptoms and may help suppress cough.

I've been feeling pretty rough with a cold and flu, plus my nose won't stop running, and swallowing is really hard. I also have hay fever, so I'm kinda worried if that's making everything worse. Could this be something more than just a cold? What should I do to feel better?

I've been taking Practin 4mg and now I feel like I'm sleeping all day. Is this going to make me weak or damage my health?

I'm wondering if it's okay to take OMEED with Cheston cold tablets. The pharmacist at Apollo Pharmacy said it was alright, but I just want to make sure it's safe. Is there anything I should be worried about combining these two?
