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.
