Patient's question:
My friend is not just feverish but also has a cold. Now I want to go in and buy him fever-reducing medicine, apart from the cold medicine. I don't know if these two kinds of medicine can be taken together. Doctor, can I take cold medicine after taking fever-reducing medicine?Doctor's answer:
After taking fever-reducing medication, you can take cold medicine. After taking fever-reducing medication, taking cold medicine will never affect the effectiveness of the medication. If you have symptoms of a fever, pay close attention to monitoring your temperature. If your temperature is below 38.5 degrees, you can take fever-reducing medication. Fever-reducing medication generally takes about half an hour to take effect. After taking the medication, it is important to monitor your temperature and also control the indoor temperature.
