How to treat a cold, cough, and fever

Patient's question:

I have a cold, cough, and fever. When I took a nap in the evening, I still felt quite unwell. By the third day, it got a bit better, but after eating something, my throat inflammation didn't improve. I then went to the hospital again and was prescribed some medicine: Ambroxol Hydrochloride and Cetirizine Hydrochloride. I also got an injection, but it didn't work. My throat feels uncomfortable with a foreign body sensation, and I have to cough hard to get out a little bit. My throat hurts, and I keep having a runny nose. My voice has already become hoarse for two days.

Doctor's answer:

From the situation you described, acute sore throat is often caused by catching a cold due to cold exposure, body resistance to pathogen transmission, or post-nasal drip irritation leading to inflammatory reactions. It is recommended to take medications like Amoxicillin throat clearing granules under the guidance of a doctor, pay attention to personal hygiene, maintain a good mood, drink plenty of fluids, and avoid extremely cold, greasy, spicy, and irritating foods. Also, take care of your vocal cords to prevent various physical and chemical irritations, and avoid smoking. Wishing you good health.
