Question : Can I drink XXXXXXX tea while on lisinopril and metoprolol?
I have a cold and wondering what I could take to relieve the symtoms of the cold since I understand that something like ADVIL will react to the lisinopril? I'm looking for some natural remedies so they don't conflict with my meds. Also taking aspirin and a statin.
I had CABG in mid March. Thank you!

Hello
Thanks for the query.
There is no problem in taking XXXXXXX tea.
For cold,one doesn't need any medicine.
Home measures are generally sufficient for this purpose,like
Steam inhalation twice a day.
Avoiding cold and chilled drinks.
Take hot liquids to drink.
Put nasal drops if nose is blocked.
You can do saline gargles if throat irriation is there.
Normally such measures should make you all right in 5 to 7 days.

I hope to have addressed your query however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck.
Thanks
