Patient's question:
Initially, I had a sore throat. I took some herbs to clear heat and drank some motherwort. I've been coughing with phlegm and having a stuffy nose for three or four days. Is it caused by external cold and internal heat?Doctor's answer:
Cough, often caused by upper respiratory infections or pathogens, generally requires antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and anti-allergic medications. Suggestions: If oral medication is ineffective, it is recommended to receive intravenous treatment under the guidance of a local doctor. For cough with phlegm, you can also try oral Sheng Zhu Li (fresh bamboo juice).
