Patient's question:
I have high blood pressure, which has been going on for over a year. Then recently, I had a stomach issue, which led to a feverish cold. It's been causing a sore throat and a constant feeling of my nose burning. I'm hesitant to take random medication. What should I do for high blood pressure and a feverish cold?Doctor's answer:
The main goal of hypertension treatment is to minimize the overall risk of cardiovascular events and deaths, so it is currently necessary to persist in taking antihypertensive medications, regularly monitor blood pressure data, maintain a proper diet, and engage in appropriate physical activity.A cold is an acute upper respiratory infection, most of which are caused by viral infections. Currently, fever can be treated with acetaminophen tablets. Pay attention to getting more rest and drinking plenty of plain water.
