Persimmon is rich in nutrition, but some of the nutrients contained in it may affect the absorption of the drug, so patients consume persimmon 1-2 hours before taking cold medicine to facilitate the absorption of the drug, and can reduce the stimulation of the gastrointestinal, so that the effect of the drug better play. At the same time, patients should pay attention to drink more water, rest more, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy and stimulating food during the cold.
