My grandmother is 72 and she's been dealing with a cold, fever, and a really runny nose. Is it safe for her to take Allercet Cold for these symptoms? I'm just worried and want to make sure it's okay for her age. What do you think?

My dad, who's 73, just started taking Torkast FX along with some other meds for the past two days. We've kind of forgotten whether he should be taking it before or after eating.
