Patient's question:
Doctor, I've had a cold for more than a week. I've been having a headache and fever, sore throat, and coughing. I've taken many medications, but it hasn't gotten better. I'd like to ask, what could be the reason for my cold not improving?Doctor's answer:
Recurring cold issues are mostly caused by viral or bacterial infections. The reason why colds linger is often due to the patient's weakened immune system. For common illnesses like colds, effective treatment can usually be achieved through proper measures. Therefore, you should go to a formal hospital, undergo relevant examinations, and under the guidance of a doctor, use appropriate medications for treatment. Pay attention to preventing colds, avoid getting cold, and drink more hot water.
