Cold medicines have the effect of dispersing the surface and are generally required to be taken after meals, so there is no need to worry about the medicine stimulating the stomach. Because take after meals, starchy things in the meal on the gastric mucosa has a protective effect, there has been a layer of protective film, this time to go back to the medicine on the gastrointestinal tract stimulation is not big. If you have a bad appetite after a cold and can’t eat, try to drink a little gruel or eat one or two small cookies before you take cold medicine to neutralize the situation in the stomach a little, and then go to eat cold medicine will not have an effect. In short, cold medicine and gastrointestinal drugs should not be used together.
