Patient's question:
Yesterday, I took my son to the water park to play. He caught a cold a bit, and this morning he started coughing and sneezing, but it's not too serious, and he doesn't have a fever. I took him to the pharmacy and gave him medicine. Should I still take him to the hospital for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation is mainly considered to be caused by catching a cold. It is best to pay attention to preventing colds, avoid catching a cold, drink more hot water, and it is recommended to take anti-inflammatory drugs, cold medicine, and lung-cleansing, blood-cooling drugs for treatment. If the medication does not improve, it will be necessary to go to the hospital for a blood test and have a chest X-ray to check for the cause of the infection and provide symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to a light diet. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
