Doctor's answer:
Based on the patient's symptoms, it is preliminarily considered to be acute bronchitis. Acute bronchitis is often caused by the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections not being thorough, and the main symptoms are frequent coughing, sputum production, fever, chills, nasal congestion, and runny nose. The recurrence of a hoarse throat sound is considered to be due to excessive sputum production, accompanied by wheezing. It is recommended to rest more, avoid overworking, maintain a cheerful mood, and not overexert oneself with excessive anxiety. In terms of diet, it is advised not to eat greasy or spicy foods.
