Togent Cream 10gm

Uses of Togent Cream

• Allergies

How does Togent Cream work?

Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride blocks a natural substance (histamine) during an allergic reaction. Besides this, the drying effects of Diphenhydramine on allergic symptoms (like watery eyes and runny nose) are caused by blocking another natural substance (acetylcholine). Together it helps relieve allergy symptoms like sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion, or stiffness.

Side Effects of Togent Cream

Possible side effects may include skin rash, urticaria (hives), and photosensitivity (increased sensitivity to sunlight).

Quick Suggestions:

• Some anti-inflammatory compounds in ginger can relax membranes in the airways, reducing coughing.
• Staying hydrated is vital for those with a cough or cold. Drinking liquids at room temperature can alleviate cough, runny nose, and sneezing.
• The main cause of a cough is acid reflux. One of the easiest ways to treat this condition and reduce the cough that accompanies it is to avoid foods that can cause acid reflux.
• The immune system is affected by stress and raises the risk of being sick. An individual can exercise regularly, meditate, do deep breathing, and try progressive muscle relaxation techniques to relieve stress.
• Try to sleep 7-9 hours each night to stay fit and safe.
• Maintain personal hygiene and keep your surroundings clean.
