Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. How should I deal with chronic cough with yellow phlegm?Doctor's answer:
If the condition of yellow sputum is relatively prominent, it often indicates symptoms of lung heat, which may be caused by purulent secretions in the sputum. This situation is commonly brought on by bacterial or viral infections. It is recommended that the patient take appropriate anti-inflammatory medications, lung-clearing herbs, and blood-cooling herbs for treatment. Carefully observe the effects after medication. If necessary, it is advised to return to the respiratory department of the hospital for follow-up. Drink plenty of water, maintain a light diet, and avoid smoking and alcohol.
