You can take cold medicine if you have a cold when you are menstruating. The cold medicines you can take during menstruation are the same as the ones you usually take, like Cold and Flu Punch, 999 Cold Granules, Pu Di Lan Oral Liquid, Blue Scutellaria Oral Liquid, etc. You can also take Sensorine. When you have a cold, you mainly take anti-viral medicines, so anti-viral oral liquid medicines can also be taken. Most colds get better with medication, and you should drink plenty of water and rest. When you have your period, you may be uncomfortable, so it is possible that the symptoms of a cold may become slightly worse, so you should pay more attention to rest. If you have a cold with a fever and a severe cough, you need to go to the hospital in time.
