Patient's question:
The weather was a bit warmer these last two days, and I felt very hot, so I turned on the air conditioner. But after using it, I caught a cold and coughed for a long time. Therefore, I want to ask you what should I do if I catch a cold and cough after using the air conditioner? Is there any difference between catching a cold and coughing after using the air conditioner and a regular cold and cough?Doctor's answer:
After using air conditioning, I developed a cold and cough. It is more likely to be a common cold. The cold caused by air conditioning is the same as a common cold, and the treatment methods are also the same. It can be treated with oral cold and lung-clearing medications. In the early stages, you can take Qingre Qinghe Granules or Tongxuan Lili Wan. It is essential to drink plenty of boiled water and avoid spicy foods and smoking.
