Suggest Treatment For Fever And Cold

Hi, in recent days am getting cold and fever too often. With consultation from local doctor, I understood my immune system got affected.



I was treated for peptic ulcer couple of months back. I was given Pantosec-D for that. It seems this tablet would lower the stomach acid secretion.



I think due that medication only my immune system got affected.

Could you give your comments.

Hello
You didno't mention complete history of illness .
As you mentioned that you are suffering with cold and fever so frequent and recurrent infection is there .
Few months you were treated for peptic ulcer and took pnatosec-D ( pantoprazole+ domperidone ) as these both drugs act as an acid regulator BUT never lower the immunity .
Yes of course pantoprazole in few patients produces cough and irritation ( due to allergy ) in throat , so this may be the reason of your problem.
But never causes HIGH temperature .
I recommend you please consult a physician and get his opinion regarding fever , recurrent cold .
Hope this will help you.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The pantosec would treat acid reflux and the peptic ulcer but it would not affect your immune system.

It is not responsible for your increased frequency of coughs and colds.

Probiotics and supplements would help improve your immune response.

In addition the use of a wide range of fruits and vegetables would ensure that you are receiving enough minerals and vitamins.

I hope this helps
