Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. Please ask, how should I treat a severe cold?Doctor's answer:
This is caused by upper respiratory tract infection after catching a cold. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatments can be used to combat infection. Additionally, cough and phlegm-relieving medications should be taken, preferably traditional Chinese medicine such as Jinmei Anbei Pears Paste or Snakebile and Fritillaria Fluid. There is a high possibility of dental caries. Toothache is usually not resolved by medication and should be checked by an oral surgeon. If it is indeed caused by dental caries, appropriate treatments can be administered to relieve the pain.
