Patient's question:
My friend, who has a cold for seven consecutive days, ended up dying because of the transmission of the herpes virus. What is going on here? Can a cold lead to such serious consequences?Doctor's answer:
Any drug must be metabolized and decomposed by the liver. If there is only one drug, the liver can handle it. But if another drug is taken, it may relieve liver pressure and even lead to acute poisoning. Most cold medicines in pharmacies contain acetaminophen. Many people think that since the names of this drug are different, they can take it together. But based on this ingredient alone, there are less than 20 different drug aliases in the market.
