Can you combine Tamivil 75mg with Zyx 5mg? With every cold, I start the 2nd day with a mega rash. If so, what is the interval between medications?

I also always have a rash when I catch a cold. My doctor says it's from citrus fruits, but I don't eat them. Do you know why it is done and how to fight it?

Yes, you can, especially if it was recommended by a doctor.
Tamivil (oseltamivir) is an antiviral medicine used to treat flu, and Zyx (cetirizin) is an antihistamine used to treat allergy symptoms such as rashes. These drugs act on different mechanisms and can usually be used together. The appropriate interval between drugs is usually a few hours to minimize the risk of interactions.
The rash that appears on the second day of a cold can have several causes. One is an allergic reaction to the virus that causes the common cold, or to its symptoms, such as fever. Sometimes the immune system reacts to the infection in a way that leads to the appearance of a rash.
