Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I had a cold and took medicine for it. A week has passed now. I still have a little cough, and the cold hasn't fully gone away.Doctor's answer:
Because many Chinese and Western medicines contain the same ingredients, excessive use can lead to liver and kidney damage, so it is not recommended to take these two types of food together. If you have a cough with white phlegm, it is recommended to take oral medication, which works well. Additionally, drink more water and avoid overeating spicy and irritating foods. Pay attention to a light diet and drink plenty of water. At the same time, it is necessary to perform careful examinations such as lung percussion, blood tests, and Mycoplasma tests to identify the cause of the cough and provide targeted treatment.
