Patient's question:
Recently, the weather took a sudden turn colder, and since my immunity is already weak, I ended up catching a cold. I've been putting it off, not wanting to go to the hospital, but today I've been feeling extremely dizzy and coughing so badly it feels like I'm about to cough my lungs out. So, I'm asking, what kind of medicine should I take for a cold and cough that works quickly?Doctor's answer:
Hello, recently due to the weather getting colder, you experienced a recurrence of the cold, along with symptoms like dizziness and coughing again. Most colds are caused by viral upper respiratory infections. It is recommended that you take antiviral traditional Chinese medicine for colds and symptomatic treatment medications like lung-clearing and blood-cooling drugs. Drink plenty of water, pay attention to a light diet, and try to avoid consuming irritating foods. At the same time, be mindful of preventing colds and keeping warm.
