Patient's question:
Just because I kept drinking cold mineral water recently, I got sick with a cold. And this cold isn't that serious, just a little cough. Also, I've never been a big fan of taking medicine since I was a child. For a common cold like this, shouldn't it be fine without medicine? How should I deal with a cough from a common cold?Doctor's answer:
Hello, colds have a self-healing nature. If they do not lead to complications, they generally heal completely within about seven days. However, if complications have already developed, such as rhinitis or bronchitis, they cannot be cured and effective treatment measures must be taken. If your condition is just a common cold with coughing, you can try drinking more water and getting adequate rest. Generally, it will heal within five to seven days.
