Morning sickness upon waking during pregnancy, feeling nauseous, phlegm in the throat, is it a cold?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Your illness is caused by a viral infection and is a manifestation of herpetic pharyngitis caused by herpesvirus. It is recommended to add traditional Chinese medicine products with heat-clearing and detoxifying properties to your conventional anti-inflammatory treatment, such as Andrographis paniculata capsules. For cough, you can use Nian Jia An, and for treating pharyngitis, you can use Man Yan Shu Lin.
