Patient's question:
I got a cold the day before yesterday after school. At first, it was just a lot of nasal discharge and chills. Yesterday, my throat started to hurt, and even when I took a nap in the afternoon, my throat was dry. I wanted to make some mung bean soup to cool down, but I don't know if it's okay to drink mung bean soup when you have a cold.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your cold is a bit serious. As everyone knows, green beans have the effects of clearing heat, reducing inflammation, antibacterial, and expelling toxins. Green bean soup for a cold and cough is acceptable, and this method can surpass certain dietary treatment effects. However, a fever indicates a possible bacterial infection. It is recommended to revisit a local reputable hospital and implement standardized medication treatment under the guidance of a specialist doctor to control the spread of infection.
