Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I am 26 years old. A few days ago, I caught a cold, and then I started coughing. I took a lot of cold medicine, but it didn't get better. Later, I cooked many homemade remedies for the cold, but it still didn't work. Doctor, the cold and cough are not improving, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
A cough caused by a cold, if persistent and not healing, could be due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which is a planned infection, or it might be an allergic reaction. It could also be a case of pertussis infection, or it may be directly related to a weakened immune system. You should drink more water, check the routine secretion, and perform a blood routine examination. Additionally, a chest X-ray should be conducted to confirm which pathogen is causing the issue.
