Question
What to do when you have a cold with cough, phlegm, and a rattling sound?
Answer
A cold with cough, phlegm, and a rattling sound generally requires symptomatic treatment, such as taking medications that clear the lungs and cool the blood, like Snake Gall and Fritillaria Liquid. If symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to visit the hospital’s respiratory and internal medicine department for a re-examination and to have a chest X-ray taken. After an accurate diagnosis is made, treatment will be implemented based on the specific condition. Avoid eating spicy and irritating foods during the cold, drink plenty of water, consume more fruits and vegetables, and ensure adequate rest for deep sleep. Wishing the patient a swift recovery to good health!
