Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Accepted Answer

It's best to follow your doctor's advice and complete the full 20-day course of Montair FX, even if you're feeling better. If you're experiencing the same symptoms again, you can start the medicine again, but it's important to consult your doctor to confirm the duration and ensure proper treatment.

I'm a bit worried because I just drank Hot Milk Tea right after having Whey Protein with water. Should I be expecting any stomach issues, or is it okay to mix those two? I'm curious if anyone else had this experience or if it might cause any problems...

Accepted Answer

Consuming hot milk tea immediately after whey protein with water is unlikely to cause significant stomach issues, as milk and protein can complement each other, but potential discomfort may arise from the temperature change, lactose intolerance, or individual sensitivity to dairy or protein, so monitor your body's response and adjust your routine accordingly.
