Suggest Treatment For Cold Along With Allergic Sneezing
Question: I just have cold . I have running nose. I took Medicine Bodrex, and after having that my nose is running more and i am sneezing more. Is it the side effect of the medicine or just that the germs are coming out, I mean i am sneezing more and running nose more after the medicine is becuase medicine is taking effect
Brief Answer:
it is not due to your medications
Detailed Answer:
Hello
It is unlikely that your cold will worsen after bodrex and i dont think it is responsible for it or the medicine is taking effect.
The worsening may be due to the virus/bacteria causing the infection and may be due to the natural course of the disease.
You can take tablet cetrizine 10 mg for the cold and steam inhalation 3-4 times a day, this will give good relief.
take care!
