Can you drink coffee with a cold?

Don't drink coffee after taking medicine for a cold

Many people have this experience. After taking cold medicine, they will feel tired and unable to concentrate on their work. In desperation, they choose strong coffee to refresh themselves. As everyone knows, this is absolutely unacceptable. Due to the anti-cold mechanism, most cold medicines contain anti-allergic ingredients to relieve symptoms such as runny nose and sneezing.

The side effects of these drugs are drowsiness and inattention. Because cold medicine generally contains phenylpropanolamine, if taken with coffee with high caffeine content, it may lead to a sharp rise in blood pressure, which is fatal.
