What can I do if I have a cold and cough but don't want to take medicine?

Patient's question:

The weather has been fluctuating between cold and hot these past few days. My immunity has always been a bit weak, so I was afraid of catching a cold this time. If I do get a cold, it's not too bad, but the constant coughing is the issue, especially at night when it gets so severe that I can't even sleep. I don't want to take medicine, so what should I do when I have a cold and a cough but don't want to take medicine?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, your resistance is not good, and symptoms such as cold and cough have appeared again. If you do not take medicine now, since your own resistance cannot improve your body's recovery, it may lead to a worsening of your condition, potentially resulting in pneumonia and other situations. Therefore, it is recommended that you promptly go to the hospital for a thorough blood test to confirm the specific type and receive anti-inflammatory treatment.
