Patient's question:
Yesterday afternoon, I rode my electric bike in to buy daily necessities. I was in a hurry at the time and forgot to wear a hat. After coming back, I got a cold. Since then, I've been in a lot of pain, constantly coughing, and my throat is extremely itchy. At night, I also sweat a lot. What should I do about the cold, coughing, itchy throat, and sweating?Doctor's answer:
For the patient's current symptoms, you can appropriately use many cold medicines and anti-inflammatory drugs, in addition to many lung-cleansing and blood-cooling symptomatic medications for treatment. It is important to rest, drink more water, eat a light diet, and avoid getting cold. The current condition is a manifestation of respiratory infection caused by a cold, generally resulting from the transmission of microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. Pay close attention to the effects after medication, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up and follow-up if necessary.
