Hello!

The answer is: D. You break out in itchy hives.

Why?

It's known that cold medicine could cause itching in some persons, it's a strange side effect since the main side effects of cold medicine are:

- Stomach effects like loss of appetite, nausea, upset stomach, diarrhea.

- Allergic effects like swelling or itching of the throat, face or tongue.

- Nervous effects like irritability, anxiety, mood changes

- Rare and serious effects like hallucinations, confusion, dizziness, and blurred vision.

Have a nice day!
