Question
Which cold and cough medications contain hormonal ingredients?
Answer
Most over-the-counter cold medications do not contain hormonal ingredients; their main components are acetaminophen, etc., used for fever reduction and pain relief. If you are concerned about the effects of medication on your body, it is recommended to consult a doctor and undergo necessary tests to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment. For children with recurrent fevers, a routine blood test should be conducted to determine whether the infection is bacterial or viral, and antibiotics or antiviral medications should be used in conjunction with fever-reducing drugs based on the test results.
