Taking cold and flu medicines generally does not affect sexual function. Common cold and flu medicines include western medicines and proprietary Chinese medicines, western medicines are mainly anti-infective medicines, and proprietary Chinese medicines are mostly heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines, which do not affect the sexual function. Some patients will have a temporary decline in sexual function during the cold, and taking cold medicine is generally not related, mainly because during the cold, the body’s immunity is relatively poor, and due to the impact of the virus on the body, resulting in nausea, vomiting, headache, fever and other symptoms, the body feels uncomfortable, so there will be a temporary decline in libido. If there is a temporary decline in sexual function during a cold, there is no need for special treatment, but it is important to pay attention to rest, try to temporarily avoid sex, and cooperate with the doctor to actively take medication.
