Can Aspirin Be Given For Severe Cold And Cough?
hi. my dad s just taken himself to bed ill. he appears to have lost circulation in his hands and says he feels very cold. it s a hot day. this has happened before but not quite the same. he s been coughing a lot recently, so i don t know if this has anything to do with it. he s over 60 which is why i m concerned. can you help me please? i don t know what s wonrg with him and how to help him. i ve given him a hot water bottle and a cup of tea to get him warm and an aspirin to thin his blood and get his circulation back. is there anything else i should know? i m really worried about him.

Hi
Welcome to Health care magic.
I went through the history you have posted here. It seems from the history that your dad is having severe cold and cough. This requires treatment by the use of anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, decongestant drugs. Aspirin is not required for cold and cough.
Do consult your doctor for examination and prescription of drugs.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
