Patient's question:
The mouth has been very painful all day; can't eat, the cold keeps coming back and getting worse; recently, the sides of the tongue have been constantly sore and ulcers keep appearing; the upper palate is also sore, and the cooling medicine isn't working—what could be the reason...Doctor's answer:
Most colds are caused by viruses, while a few are caused by bacterial infections. Sudden changes in weather, getting wet in the rain, feeling cold, excessive fatigue, or exposure to people with colds can trigger a cold. It's important to seek timely treatment to avoid delays. During recovery, cold patients should pay attention to rest, drink plenty of fluids, and avoid spicy and hard-to-digest foods. However, if the treatment effect is not satisfactory after taking cold remedies, it is still necessary to visit a local regular hospital for follow-up examination and treatment. Good living habits and dietary habits should be maintained on a daily basis.
