My hands hurt, and I have a sore throat. What should I do?

Simple viral infections like the common cold, which can produce body pains in addition to throat discomfort, are frequently the source of hand pain and sore throats. You can ease your discomfort by resting, drinking warm liquids, gargling with salt water, and taking a medication like paracetamol. It's best to contact a doctor to rule out a bacterial infection if you experience a high fever, severe throat pain, swelling, or symptoms that continue longer than a few days.

Can I take cetirizine while breastfeeding my 3 to 4-week-old baby if I have a cold and runny nose?

Cetirizine is excreted in human milk. Therefore, you are recommended to avoid taking Cetirizine during breastfeeding unless you have contacted a doctor.

I have been experiencing itching all over my body for the last two months. I?ve tried cetirizine but haven?t found relief.

Generalized itching for two months without relief from cetirizine may be due to chronic urticaria, dry skin, allergies, thyroid/liver issues, or eczema. You may need a daily non-sedating antihistamine, moisturizers, and basic blood tests. A dermatologist can help identify the exact cause.

I've had a sore throat and nasal congestion for two days. I took PCM and cetirizine, but I'm not feeling better.

Most sore throats and congestion are due to viral infections, which can take 3-5 days to improve. Keep hydrated, use warm salt-water gargles, and consider steam inhalation. If symptoms worsen, fever rises, or last beyond a week, see a doctor to rule out bacterial infection.

Should cetirizine be taken before or after meals, and how many doses are recommended in a day?

Cetirizine can be taken before or after meals, as food does not affect it. The usual adult dose is 10 mg once daily, and it should not be taken more than one dose per day unless your doctor advises otherwise.
