First, if patients exhibit symptoms such as coughing and phlegm, which are very similar to those of a cold, they should seek medical attention promptly. Under the guidance of a physician, they can use antibiotics like penicillin and cephalosporins, as well as cough and phlegm-relieving medications.Second, for mild cold symptoms, patients can take over-the-counter herbal medicines with fewer side effects, such as Banlangen granules or Shangfeng Qingre granules.
