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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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'm a bit worried because my dog, who's usually hanging out with street dogs, accidentally gave me a playful bite on my arm. It didn't bleed, just got a bit red and swollen, but that went away the next day. My dog is 3 and a half years old, has had all its vaccinations, and I even got it a booster shot a month before it bit me since it was bitten by a stray. It's been 4 days since then and both of us seem totally fine, and my dog isnt showing any sick signs. I spoke to a pharmacist who gave me a tetanus shot and told me not to worry because my dog had the booster lately. But here's my problemtheres no antirabies injection available anywhere in my town. Should I be concerned about rabies or am I safe to assume we're okay?
Given that your dog has been regularly vaccinated for rabies, including a recent booster dose, and is not displaying any symptoms of illness, the risk of rabies transmission is extremely low. Additionally, since both you and your dog are doing well after 4 days, the likelihood of rabies transmission is further reduced. In this situation, it is not necessary to worry about rabies. Continue to monitor your dog for any changes in behavior or health, and keep an eye on the bite wound for any signs of infection. If the wound shows any concerning symptoms, such as increasing redness, warmth, or discharge, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

Can you drink alcohol after getting the first dose of Covishield? Are there any possible side effects or restrictions on having alcohol after getting vaccinated? I'm just a bit concerned and want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.
