I've been dealing with a cough and cold for over two weeks now. My GP advised me to check my blood, and it turns out my ESR is 30 and AEC is 480. He told me to take Diethylcarbamazine and Chlorphenaramine. Is it safe to take these medications along with my current thyroid medication, Atorvastatin, and Fefol? I'm just a bit nervous about mixing them all.

I've had this cold and one eye that's been running with water for about a week now. It's super annoying, and I'm not sure what to do. What could be causing this, and are there any tablets or treatments you might suggest to help get rid of it?

I'm dealing with a cold all week and it's giving me headaches. My nose starts running when I get up early in the morning because the weather is so chilly then. When I take a cold tablet, it seems to help for the rest of the day. But the cold just comes back the next morning. Plus, the sneezing from this is non-stop. Any advice on what I can do to get better?

Would advise you to take steam for a few days , may add vicks in it and take steam 2 to 3 times in a day. And u shud consult to rule out other causes of headache including sinusitis
