Patient's question:
The condition is not bad, the diet is also okay, and deep sleep is good too. However, when taking a nap, I coughed awake and cried. Bowel and bladder functions are normal, but I haven't paid attention to my weight. Initially, I had a fever and then coughed, and after taking medicine, it got better. After leaving the house and walking around a few times, it started again. There was a time when I had phlegm that I couldn't cough up...Doctor's answer:
