Patient's question:
What medicine is best for a cold with cough and phlegm? I used to get colds too, but I don't know if it's because of my poor constitution or something else. Whenever I catch a cold, it takes a long time to recover, and even taking some medicine doesn't seem to work well. So, I want to ask here what I should do in my situation?Doctor's answer:
A cold with cough and phlegm may not respond well to medication, which could also be related to a weakened immune system. You should focus on enhancing nutrition and boosting your resistance. Regular physical exercise is also necessary. For a cold with cough, you can also use mugwort leaves to boil water for a bath to dispel cold. Avoid getting cold and pay attention to preventing cold exposure. You should also avoid spicy and cold foods. For a cold with phlegm, some anti-inflammatory treatment may be needed.
