Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you have described, it is important to consider acute upper respiratory tract infection. Acute upper respiratory tract infection, also known as the common cold, can be divided into wind-cold cold and wind-heat cold. Generally, wind-cold cold is often caused by exposure to cold, followed by a viral or bacterial infection. The common cold can lead to symptoms such as coughing, runny nose, and more. Treatment can include clearing the lungs, cooling and clearing heat, and symptomatic treatment for infection and cold. The above is advice on this issue, and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you.
