So, no matter whether it is a small cold, a big fever, or a surgical incision, etc., when taking the medicine corresponding to the treatment, it is not allowed to use tea to serve yo. And I think, after taking the medicine also try not to drink tea, especially when the doctor prescribed a larger amount of medicine.
