Patient's question:
I haven't paid much attention to my health recently, and as a result, I caught a cold. At the time, I took some medicine, and it started to improve a bit. Back then, I had a cough with phlegm, but I didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just due to the cold and would gradually get better. After the cold subsided, I still had a persistent cough, and it wasn't just phlegm—this made me nervous. Could it be that I've contracted some other illness?Doctor's answer:
This phenomenon is considered to be due to a viral infection, leading to a weakened immune system, which subsequently causes respiratory or throat inflammation. This results in tissue mucosal swelling and an increase in secretions, leading to phlegm. First and foremost, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene, avoiding spicy foods. Ambroxol and Terbutaline Oral Solution can be taken, and it can be combined with honeysuckle particles and Roxithromycin for treatment. For patients with vaginitis, daily treatment is primarily symptomatic.
