How long does it take to recover from a cold and cough with medication after three and a half months?

Patient's question:

I have a cough and a cold now. What medicine can I take to recover quickly in three and a half months. Before, it was just a sore throat, and I thought it would just go away, so I didn't take any medicine. It has been on and off for three and a half months without getting better, and now the symptoms are even worse.

Doctor's answer:

The patient has had a cold and cough for three and a half months, proving that the condition has persisted for a long time. In treatment, it is essential to identify the cause and then use medication based on the specific condition. This can extend the course of the illness, so it is necessary to visit the hospital for a follow-up examination, including a thorough blood test such as complete blood count (CBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), and tests for relevant bacteria or pathogens. Then, based on the test results, the medication should be determined. The specific dosage and usage of the medication will be prescribed by the doctor.
