Type 2 Diabetic, On Blood Thinner Warfarin, Have Cold And Cough. Can Cough Medicine And Blood Thinner Be Taken ?
Hello my dad is 81 years of age he has type 2 diabetese he was recently treated for a blood clot leading to the abdomen area as well as an infection in his liver. The doctor gave him antibiotics for the infection and put him on the blood thinner warafin the last couple of days he has been sick with a cold and coughing alot. We are giving him cough medicine but im curious is it a bad thing to mix the cough medicine with the blood thinner even if he isnt taking it at the same time? He started urinating blood this morning and has a slight pain on the right side by the belly button 1-3 level
Hi There is no medicine for common cold and cough this is a self limiting symptoms, if it is long lasting then under laying cause should be taken in consideration and treated accordingly otherwise do not take any symptomatic medicine for cough and cold, and even if you are taking or willing to take it then it should be taken along with Warfarin. Have great day
