Suggest Remedy For Cold

I had PRK surgery almost 5 weeks ago. I got a bad cold 4 days after the surgery and I was taking Musinex DM and Coldeze. I got over the cold about 10 days ago and now it seems to be coming back. I'm back on the Musinex DM. Is this hurting my healing process with the PRK surgery?

Thanks for posting your query to Health care magic .
It could be of allergic in nature or due to viral infection so you should avoid exposure to cold and dust . presently you can take Cetrizine10mg with Monteleucast5mg tablet once at night, and Paracetamol 750 mg( Adult dose) to releive bodyache and fever . Steam inhalation 3 times a day .
Mucinex DM is basically releive dry cough so if you are not having such complaint no need to take it .
About disadvantage of medicine on PRK consult your ophthalmic surgeon .
Hope I have answered your question. If you would like some more information I will be happy to provide. You can also write a review for me. Wish you good health .
