Is It Safe To Take Cheston Cold For Symptoms Of Cold?
I have a critical interview tomorrow (in less than 10 hours from now) and unluckily the symptoms of cold cropped up. Is it okay if I have Cheston Cold ( Cetirizine Dihydrocholride, Phenylephrine Hydrochloride and Paracetamol)? Appreciate your candid thoughts. Thanks

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, you can use the above medication. The antihistamine aspect (cetirzine) would help with nasal congestion, sneezing, phenyleprine is a decongestant and the paracetamol would help with any areas of discomfort and with fever.
This medication is non drowsy, so you can take a dose tomorrow once the appropriate dosing interval has passed.
In addition, you need to get as much rest as you can and use fluids (use cool fluids if you are febrile).
I hope this helps
