    Cold is a common disease in winter.


    Cold medicines are mostly compound preparations, consisting of antipyretic analgesics, vasoconstrictors, antitussives and expectorants, antihistamines, antivirals, etc.


    People with nasal congestion and runny nose can use vasoconstrictor pseudoephedrine hydrochloride; fever and headache can use antipyretic analgesics paracetamol (paracetamol), ibuprofen; sneezing can choose chlorpheniramine and diphenhydramine with anti-allergic ingredients Etc.


    However, for chronic patients, some cold medicine ingredients may be "minefields


    In addition, patients with liver and kidney dysfunction should also pay attention to the dosage of paracetamol; those with glaucoma and prostatic hypertrophy should be cautious in using anti-allergic drugs containing chlorpheniramine and diphenhydramine to avoid increased intraocular pressure and dysuria
