Patient's question:
I recently caught a cold. I didn't want to go to the hospital at first, thinking that just taking many medications would be enough. However, after a week, it hasn't gotten better, so I decided to go to the hospital for a check-up. Is it necessary to make an appointment when going to the hospital for a cold?Doctor's answer:
That is to say, you have had a cold for a certain period of time, but it hasn't improved. In your case, it's best to go to the hospital for a check-up. When visiting the hospital for treatment, you usually need to make an appointment. Given that your respiratory infection seems quite serious, it would be advisable to undergo a routine and thorough examination, followed by systematic intravenous treatment. In daily life, it's also important to drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and ensure sufficient deep sleep. Your diet should be light and simple.
