Patient's question:
I have had a cold for more than a week, severe cough, with phlegm. I have taken Banlangen, Cekuo tablets, Amoxicillin capsules, and Fenghan cough granules. The past two days, my heart has been uncomfortable, my heartbeat is faster than usual, and it's a bit shaky. Is it because of the medicine I've taken? Do I still need to take it carefully?Doctor's answer:
Considering the possibility of arrhythmia caused by factors such as colds and bronchitis. Coughing with phlegm, and among the medications currently being taken, it is possible that the medication may be causing the heart to beat faster. It is recommended that other medications should still be taken, and the coughing medication should be temporarily stopped. Additionally, it may be considered to enhance the use of inhalation treatment to stabilize phlegm and reduce airway inflammation. Rest during the day, avoid overexertion, staying up late, ensure sufficient sleep, and maintain emotional stability.
