Hello doctor, I am currently taking medicine to treat hepatitis B, but during the treatment I got a cold and flu. So, doctor, can I take cold medicine? Because as far as I know cold medicine is harmful to the liver.
Thank physicians sir!

Answer
Hi, hepatitis B treatment is a long process. Therefore, during the treatment of hepatitis B, if you have a cold, you can still take medicine, but you must take it according to the instructions of your doctor. So, for the best, you should go for a follow-up examination and consultation at the Department of Gastroenterology-Hepatology of Vinmec Health System nationwide.
