How to deal with wind-cold cough

Patient's question:

If it's caused by wind-cold, and the cough is too severe, affecting sleep, these medications still don't stop the cough. I have an opinion, I don't know if it's right or not: when there's no phlegm, it's still important to cough, otherwise the upper respiratory tract will be damaged. If it doesn't get better then, I think this is also why cough syrup is taken.

Doctor's answer:

Cough may be caused by a respiratory infection or bronchitis. It is recommended to take a chest X-ray or chest fluoroscopy for a thorough examination to diagnose the cause. Azithromycin or cephalexin capsules can be taken for treatment. In severe cases, intravenous infusion with antibiotics may be used. For thick and sticky sputum, Gancao Mixture can be taken orally, and it is advisable to drink plenty of plain water. Alternatively, you can combine it with atomization inhalation treatment, which is very effective. The above suggestions are for the question "What if it is caused by wind-cold and the cough is too severe?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
