Does Decolgen Intake Cause Cough And Weakness?
My wife is diabetic. While on vacation she developed cough, sore throat accompanied by fever and headache. We bought Decolgen Forte. Now the fever & sore throat is gone. But she has cough and weakness. Can this be due to Decolgen Forte? She has no taste in her mouth and no apetite.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The decolgen forte is a cough mixture with an antihistamine, decongestant and paracetamol.
The cough , loss of appetite and weakness would be as a result of her upper respiratory tract infection which is usually viral not due to the medication.
She may want to use a cough suppressant to help reduce the coughing.
When the infection resolves her appetite and energy level would improve.
I hope this helps
