How do the elderly choose cold medicine? What should the elderly pay attention to when taking cold medicine?

Because of ignorance, many times people do things that are harmful to their health unconsciously. Today's popular science knowledge is related to the old people around us. Because the elderly are older, their physical function and resistance have decreased, and they are more vulnerable to diseases and viruses. For example, the frequency of daily colds is higher than that of ordinary people, and it is more difficult to use drugs.

But the old man at home has a cold and can't take medicine indiscriminately. He should take medicine according to his health and whether he has any other medical history. For example, Gankang cold medicine is clearly marked in the instructions, and the liver and kidney function are incomplete; Elderly patients should use drugs with caution or reduce them appropriately. Therefore, before taking medicine, we should pay attention to reading the instructions carefully, see clearly the caution and prohibition of drugs, and prevent adverse reactions.

In order to prevent cold patients from neglecting to read the instructions, the instructions of Gankang are designed in the form of cards. When the removable medicine box is opened, the tablets and instructions will pop up in the opposite direction, reminding patients with cold to read the instructions when taking medicine. Moreover, the external package that can be pasted can be pasted anywhere at will to remind patients to take medicine in time. This intimate design is more humanized for the elderly who are easy to forget.

At the same time, when giving drugs to the elderly, we should also pay attention to whether the drugs are safe and reliable, and whether they are symptomatic. Correct judgment is viral cold or bacterial cold. Viral colds can be treated directly with Wutai Gankang tablets, while bacterial colds need antibiotics. If you can't judge, you can go to the hospital to judge by blood test and take medicine under the guidance of a doctor. Because the symptoms of a cold are different, the corresponding drugs are different. If you mix cold medicine, not only can you not treat a cold quickly, but you may also delay your illness.

Health problems are no small matter, whether it is medication or daily care, we should pay special attention to the health problems of the elderly.
