Patient's question:
A few days ago, I caught a cold because I wasn't dressed warmly enough. After taking two days of cold tablets, my headache improved, but I started having stomach issues. The main symptoms are dry lips, mouth ulcers, red and swollen nose, sore throat, and sticky eye discharge in the morning. Hello, have I developed a wind-heat cold from a wind-cold cold? What cold medicine should I take now, as my head still hurts a bit?Doctor's answer:
According to the described medical history, from a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, it is a manifestation of wind-heat cold. It is a mixture of wind-cold and wind-heat because wind-cold obstructs the flow of qi, which leads to recurring headaches and overall heaviness. To further diagnose and treat these symptoms, a combination of Chinese and Western medicine is necessary to stabilize the condition.In daily life, avoid extreme cold and heat, drink plenty of water, and eat more fruits and vegetables. Oral liquids can be taken in conjunction with capsules. A systematic approach combining Chinese and Western medicine will be more effective in alleviating the symptoms.
