How to treat a cold and cough without medication?

Patient's question:

Can a cold be managed without medication? These past few days, with the cold lasting for several days, I initially tried to tough it out without medication. However, recently my body has been weak, and the cold has become more severe. I'd like to ask if there are any other methods for treating it besides medication.

Doctor's answer:

Regarding the condition you mentioned, the following assumptions are made:
A cold with cough may be a viral cold. In this case, medication is not recommended. You can boost your immunity by reducing stress, increasing nutrition, and eating foods rich in protein and vitamins. Always maintain a positive mood and avoid overtime to ensure sufficient deep sleep. Acupuncture and massage therapy can also be used for treatment. During the menstrual period, there are no restrictions on using medications to treat colds.
