Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history about the medicines you have been given for flu and getting tremors.
Since you have been cough syrup, it must be containing salbutamol, it is this salbutamol that causes the tremors.
Do not take tea.
Do not take any cough syrup containing salbutamol.
Since you are diabetic, you should monitor your blood sugar daily and continue medicines properly.
