Patient's question:
I am currently unable to cough; when I do, my head hurts very badly. It's because I was changing clothes and got a cold, so this has been going on for several days, and I still need to take medicine. What should I do about the cold, cough, and headache?Doctor's answer:
In daily life, most colds are caused by viral infections. You currently have a cough, indicating an upper respiratory infection. It is best to take many antiviral medications to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, pay attention to your daily life—maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and establish a good sleep schedule. Avoid overworking.
