Patient's question:
The weather has been quite hot recently, so I indulged in cold things and ended up catching a cold with a cough. I originally thought that a week of rest would be enough to fully recover, but for some reason, it's almost two weeks now, and I still haven't seen any signs of significant improvement. I've also been very mindful of my lifestyle habits, so I wanted to ask what could be the reason for my cold and cough lasting for two weeks without recovery?Doctor's answer:
Considering it might be a viral infection, you can take some anti-inflammatory medication and strong lung-clearing syrup together. If it's serious, you must go to the hospital for follow-up treatment in time and receive targeted treatment based on the doctor's advice and suggestions, taking medicine according to the symptoms. Rest more in your daily life. Now that it's autumn, avoid cold and cool foods, as they can help relieve cough. Don't eat spicy and irritating foods, and drink more water. Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health.
