Suggest Me Medication For Cold After Appendectomy As It Hurts While Coughing

I had laparoscopic appendectomy (For appendicitis) back in the first week of October 2013, I had a speedy recovery but sometimes I get pains exactly where my appendix used to be. This only ever happens when I get a cold or get the flu, It s happened twice since October, whenever I get ill, it feels like the appendix stub or where it was cut off, still hurts. It s not a huge pain, but it s a sharp pain that is constant and noticeable. When the cold first came on 2 or 3 days ago, I also had a horrible central abdomen pain for about 30 minutes that then died down, exactly like the central abdomen pain I had when I got appendicitis and it shifted over to the right, although the first time that central pain lasted all night. Is it something to worry about?

If there is not fever associated with the cold and cough, and the cough is non-productive(no sputum comes) then you could use a cough syrup such as Benadryl and a tablet chlorpheniramine maleate for the runny nose/cold. Although if you feel the cold is severe, buy a combination of paracetamol 500mg with CPM.
