Patient's question:
Grandpa recently got a cold and has symptoms like runny nose and coughing. Hello, what should the elderly eat when they have a cold and cough?Doctor's answer:
Based on what you said, if the elderly person caught a cold due to wind-cold and developed symptoms such as coughing and excessive phlegm, it is usually possible to take Ganmao Qingre Chongji (Cold Relief and Clear Heat Granules) or Ganmao Ruannang (Soft Capsules for Cold Relief) for symptomatic treatment. For the coughing symptoms, Tongxuan Lili Wan (Promote Lung Qi and Resolve Phlegm Pills) can also be taken for treatment. Additionally, it is important to drink more water regularly. When soaking feet, make sure the water covers the feet, and after soaking, the feet should turn red to help prevent colds.
