If you have a cold, think about it quickly, will it be fatal to mix it with other cold medicines?

Each medicine has its own unique ingredients and effects, taking medicine is not like eating, you can do what you want, you must decide according to your own condition and the composition of the drug, the two drugs may be really fatal when you eat them. Gankang is one of the cold medicines that has a relatively fast effect, the main ingredient is acetaminophen, many cold medicines also contain this ingredient, the excessive use of this ingredient will cause liver damage, severe cases will cause liver failure, endangering the life of patients.

Colds have bacterial infections.

There are also viral infections.

Therefore, it is symptomatic medication.

There is no specific drug.

Colds usually take about seven days**.

Due to the different types of colds, then there are certain differences in the effect of medication, the common cold is more related to adenovirus than virus, or respiratory syncytial virus infection, you can use ribavirin or banlangen powder and other drugs to antiviral**, influenza, you need to consider using secondary tavir and other drugs to fight viral**. You can also use Chinese patent medicines, Lotus Qingwen capsules, fever and runny nose caused by colds, headache and other symptoms can be controlled with compound acetaminophen, and if there is a high fever, you can use ibuprofen to reduce fever**.

Colds are generally mild, short-lived, self-limiting, and have a good prognosis for most patients, but the prognosis is not very good for a small number of elderly and frail patients with more underlying diseases. The effectiveness of cold medicine mainly depends on whether it can be prescribed the right medicine. It is more effective to choose Zhengchai Hu granules and Fenghan cold granules for wind and cold colds, and Yinqiao tablets or Shuanghuanglian oral liquid can be used for wind and heat colds, and some patients belong to summer damp colds, so it is recommended to take Huoxiang Zhengqi capsules.

In early spring or winter, it is mostly a cold with wind chill, and in summer, it is also a cold with air conditioning blowing in an air-conditioned room. This kind of cold should use Xinwen antidote to sweat, such as Zheng Bupleurum Granules, Wind Cold Cold Granules, Xiao Chai Hu Granule and so on. Spring and summer are mostly wind-heat colds, at this time, you should choose Yinqiao tablets, Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, antelope cold tablets and other drugs that are spicy and cool to relieve the surface.

In the rainy season and midsummer, there is a lot of heat and humidity, and this suitable medicine should be a dampness and anti-surface drug, such as summer heat and cold granules, Huoxiang Zhengqi soft capsules, Po Chai pills, etc.

Different cold medicines should be used for different symptoms, and patients should be careful not to mix two or more cold medicines when taking medicines, so as not to react with each other and cause bad effects.

"Cold" is a "common name", generally refers to an upper respiratory tract infection, since it is an "infection", it is generally necessary to use "anti-infective drugs", anti-infective drugs include "antibacterial drugs" and "antiviral drugs", as well as "anti-parasitic drugs" and so on. Gankang is an "antipyretic and analgesic drug", which is symptomatic**, an "anti-infective drug" is a cause**, and the commonly said anti-inflammatory drug is an anti-infective drug.

Gankang is an antipyretic analgesic, which is only used when there is a headache and fever in a cold, and it is not used for general nasal congestion and sore throat. Anti-inflammatory drugs generally refer to antibiotics and are generally used when there is a bacterial infection (such as coughing up yellow sputum). The former treats the symptoms and the latter treats the root cause, of course, the general cold is caused by the virus, and it is not much good to overeat antibiotics, drink more water when you have a cold, rest and rest can generally heal itself within a week, you can not take medicine or try not to eat!

A cold is a viral infection, and its essence is also a type of inflammation. A common cold is caused by a Staphylococcus aureus infection. In most cold medicines, antiviral ingredients are used to kill the bacteria that cause colds.

Therefore, it is best not to take anti-inflammatory drugs at the same time as a cold, because that will inadvertently increase the dose of drugs. Increase blood levels. For example, the concentration of Gankang is 12 hours to take one tablet to maintain a normal blood concentration, if the anti-inflammatory drugs are taken together, the blood concentration will be increased, and people generally cannot tolerate it.

It is recommended to take Gankang and not with anti-inflammatory drugs.

Advocates of non-medication argue that:

First of all, there is no effective cold medicine, the current medicine is only symptomatic, and sometimes it will bring poison;

Secondly, most patients will get better after a period of time after suffering from a cold, even if they do not **;

Thirdly, some of the symptoms of a cold are also beneficial to the human body, such as fever can mobilize the function of the immune system;

Finally, given the current situation, self-medication of cold patients as soon as they have symptoms will also mask other diseases, such as SARS.

Therefore, if you are diagnosed with a cold, simply drink plenty of water and pay attention to rest, and the cold will naturally be cured.

Expert Breakdown 1:

The above proposition naturally has its scientific truth, but it is not realistic.

On the one hand, after all, some cold symptoms are unbearable, on the other hand, modern society has a heavy workload, in order not to delay work, not only can not rest, but also take some medicine to prevent the cold from affecting work efficiency.

Expert analysis 2: The symptoms of a cold are complex and diverse, including fever, pain, nasal congestion, runny nose, cough and allergies. Commercially available anti-cold medicines are basically compounded, that is, different ingredients are combined to address the above symptoms.

1. The antipyretic and analgesic components, such as acetaminophen, diclofenac sodium, and aminopyrine, are mainly used to reduce fever and pain.

2. Ingredients to reduce nasal congestion, such as pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and ephedrine hydrochloride, are mainly used to reduce symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose and sneezing.

3. Antitussive components include dextromethorphan hydrobromide, dioxamazine hydrochloride, etc.; Those with frequent cough can use compound licorice mixture and cough biqing; If you cough with a lot of phlegm and the sputum is viscous, you need to add Biyuping.

Note: Although many cold medicines are over-the-counter, there are still some adverse reactions after taking them. Many people will have gastrointestinal discomfort after taking the drug, which can generally get better after stopping the drug.

Many adverse reactions of cold medicines are related to antipyretic and analgesic ingredients, and many cold medicines also contain such ingredients, so if there are no symptoms such as fever, muscle pain, headache, etc., it is not recommended to use cold medicines containing antipyretic and analgesic ingredients in principle to minimize adverse reactions.

Cold medicine is a compound preparation, in which the content of a certain ingredient is safe, but if a variety of anti-cold drugs are mixed, it may exceed the standard, and a small number of patients may even have serious adverse reactions such as acute renal failure.

Therefore, you should try to take only one medicine for a cold, so as not to overeat a certain ingredient. Combination medication must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. Cold medicine should not be taken for a long time, and should be stopped after three to five days after the symptoms have disappeared.

Different cold medicines should not be mixed together, because it is not conducive to our physical health, nor is it conducive to our physical development, and it will also reduce our resistance, and it will also reduce our immunity, so we must pay attention to this aspect of the problem.

No, the main role and efficacy of most cold medicines is to relieve symptoms such as sore throat, nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, muscle aches and other symptoms caused by colds, rather than fundamentally**, so the mechanism of action of most cold medicines is also similar.

No, if you do this, it will only affect your physical health, and your fever will become particularly serious, and you will not get a good **, and your immunity will decrease.
