205 drug samples failed! Cough-fever, including numerous medicines for heart disease, do not take ‘these’ pills by mistake
A change in environment is likely to affect overall health. The body gets infected with diseases like cold, cough, fever etc. After being infected with infectious diseases, symptoms are initially very mild. But with time the symptoms increase. But still it is ignored. Medical painkiller pills are taken after cold, cough and fever. Consuming these pills gives temporary relief and once again the fever comes and the health deteriorates.
