A member asked:

Really bad cough and sore throat, doc gave me antibiotic. would drinking sleep time tea be okay? i also take enalapril and synthroid (thyroxine).

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sleep time: Drinking tea at sleep time is OK. However, if your cough and sore throat is not getting better after one week of the antibiotic, go back to your doctor who will examine you and likely prescribe a different med.
