I am suffering from dore and choked throat since friday evening, 25.1.19. I have been doing gargles with lukewarm water mixed with disprin 3 to 4 times a day. I am constantly saving myself from cold by covering myself from head to toe in warm clothes. Using home remedies like drinking lukewarm water mixed with honey. But problem still persists though little better. Greenish cough comes out occasionally. My Dr. Has prescribed coldaid 500 mg thrice daily. I am already under medication for bipolar disorder (medicines include lamitor od 150, dicorate 500 mg in eve, dicorate 250 mg in mng). I am also undergoing treatment for hiatus hernia, ibs. Medicines include colospa x, ib set, pan it. I have read online that coldaid 500 may interfere with aforesaid medications. Please advise whether it's safe to take coldaid 500 mg or not. If yes, how long should I take it for my sore and choked throat? If not, which alternative medicine should I take, taking into account my ongoing medications?
