Patient's question:
Feeling unwell with a cold, fever, and chills. Took Hongxiang Zhengqi Granules, Yinhuang Capsules, and Amoxicillin Capsules at night.By the third day, the fever and chills were gone, but I started coughing sometimes, sometimes coughing very hard, and had diarrhea. Ate Yinhuang Capsules and Amoxicillin Capsules at night.
By the third day, the diarrhea stopped, but I still coughed sometimes, sometimes coughing very hard, and couldn’t eat much.
What symptoms did the cold cause?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, there is no fever or systemic symptoms, or only low-grade fever, discomfort, mild chills, and headache. Health check-ups reveal congested and swollen nasal mucosa with secretions, and mild congestion in the pharynx. In cases of second-order neuron eustachian tube, symptoms such as hearing loss may occur. Purulent sputum or severe lower respiratory symptoms suggest a viral infection other than rhinovirus or secondary bacterial infection. Without complications, recovery can be complete within 5 to 7 days.
