Patient's question:
The day before yesterday I had a bit of a runny nose, yesterday daytime I had a bit of a cough, but at night the cough was particularly severe.Doctor's answer:
Generally, it involves antiviral treatment for colds, using medications like Chong Gan Ling, Su Xiao, and Tylenol. If coughing symptoms appear, additional cough-relieving drugs such as Ke Su Ting and Ke Bi Qing are needed. High fever requires treatment with Chai Hu injections and Qing Kai Ling, or Nimesulide for fever reduction. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment for colds, it is important to distinguish between wind-cold and wind-heat types of colds. Wind-cold colds are characterized by nasal congestion, clear nasal discharge, and severe cold intolerance, and are treated with Ren Shen Bai Du San.
