Patient's question:
Because the weather has recently become cooler, I didn't provide clothing in time, which led to me catching a cold and coughing, and I've had a runny nose for the past few days. I bought some medicine at the pharmacy a couple of days ago, but it hasn't been very effective. In the past two days, my condition has slightly improved. How should I treat a cold, cough, and runny nose?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to first take many cold remedies, which can first decide on drugs like acetaminophen and ibuprofen. These can treat flu symptoms and also combat the flu. At the same time, you can also use many cephalosporin-class anti-inflammatory drugs if you have a sore throat or redness. Add some heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine for continuous treatment of 3~5 days. These symptoms can generally be suppressed. During this period, it is essential to monitor your temperature. As soon as possible, follow the doctor's instructions to take the medicine. Never take matters into your own hands, as this can be very harmful.
