Patient's question:
I have a cold and took cold medicine, but my stomach feels uncomfortable! What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The common cold is mostly caused by viral infections and tends to recur under conditions like exposure to cold or poor constitution. Timely treatment is necessary. The stomach discomfort may be due to medication affecting the gastric mucosa. Symptomatic treatment can be administered using drugs like stomach protectants. Some medications can also be used for treatment. The diet should be light, daily routines should be regular, and easily digestible foods should be consumed. Regular check-ups are essential.
