About Crocin Cold & Flu Max Tablet

Crocin Cold & Flu Max Tablet is ac combination medication used to treat common cold symptoms and allergies like sneezing, runny/stuffy nose, fever, headache, body pains, congestion, or watery eyes.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Common cold: The common cold is an infection caused by the virus, mainly known as 'rhinoviruses', affecting the nose and throat (upper respiratory tract). Children younger than six years are at the most significant risk of colds, but healthy adults can also be affected to have 2-3 colds annually. In most cases, cold symptoms are recovered within a week or ten days. However, symptoms might last longer in people who smoke or are exposed to allergens like pollutants, dust, etc. The common cold symptoms include sneezing, sore throat, cough, congestion, mild body pains, low fever, mild headache, unwell, and stuffy or runny nose. In some cases, the discharge from the nose may become thicker and yellow or green, which is not an indication of bacterial infection.

 

Allergies: Allergies are the immune system's reaction to a foreign material that is usually not harmful to the body. These foreign substances are referred to as 'allergens.' Allergic reactions differ from person to person. Some people may be allergic to certain foods or suffer seasonal allergies such as hay fever. On the other hand, others may be allergic to pollen or pet dander.
