Question 1

hi. i was wondering if i can take non-drowsy allergy relief and nighttime cold and flu? i have a stuffy nose but a headache and ear ache also..

Accepted Answer

Depends: If your non-drowsy allergy relief contains a decongestant, it may keep you awake although it would provide some relief in your nasal congestion.  If it contains just an antihistamine, it would not help your cold but would not keep you awake either.  For short term use, an OTC nasal congestant spray may be more effective (not to be used for more than 5 days).

Accepted Answer

: I still think your body is fighting off a common cold viral infection that'll most likely last a week or so.  If you feel that your belching is gas buildup from indigestion, avoid gassy foods &amp; beverages.  Don't force yourself to belch as you'll only keep swallowing more air. Taking simethicone 1/2 hour after meals prevents gas buildup.

Accepted Answer

Visit M.D. : Being febrile (with fever) indicates a problem, ie bacterial /viral. Your M.D. Would be interested in looking at your conditions. This could decrease the time your hindered with this.
