Patient's question:
Because I didn't close the window when I took a nap in the afternoon, I got a cold after catching a cold. Now I've been coughing all the time, feeling like my throat is itchy. Even after taking medicine, it hasn't helped much. I just wanted to ask if there are any good methods to treat a cold caused by catching a cold and coughing.Doctor's answer:
The current condition of the patient requires the use of many cold medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs, in addition to a variety of symptomatic treatments such as clearing the lungs and cooling the blood. The cause of the illness is due to the patient catching a cold from exposure to cold, which has led to an increase in their resistance. The symptoms of respiratory infection are manifested due to the transmission of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. During the treatment, the patient should pay attention to drinking more water, maintaining a light diet, and taking precautions against cold. If the medication does not show significant improvement, it is recommended to seek follow-up treatment in the respiratory department of a formal hospital.
