Hello. I went ice skating yesterday and got a cold. Now I have a runny nose and symptoms of coughing and shortness of breath. Hello doctor, I have a cold, coughing, and excessive phlegm and runny nose. Are there any medications that can quickly cure the cold?Doctor's answer:
If you catch a cold, you may experience symptoms such as coughing, sore throat, and itchy throat. You can take medications to clear the lungs and cool the blood, as well as antiviral medications to relieve the symptoms. For example, Sanjiu Cold Relief and Jinkan Nengci can be used. If the symptoms do not improve, you should go to the respiratory department of the hospital for a check-up to find the root cause. It is important to pay attention to prevention and avoid getting colds, drink more, and eat more fruits and vegetables. Avoid spicy foods, consume sufficient digestive proteins, vitamins, vegetables, and water. Consuming certain vitamins can be beneficial for the body to recover more quickly from the illness. It is also important to drink more and avoid eating extremely cold foods, such as watermelon and pears, which are relatively cooling. Try to reduce the intake to prevent the disruption of metabolic functions.
