Question
How should one treat wind-cold cough?
Answer
Wind-cold cough can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, such as taking Tongxuan Lili pills. Additionally, in daily life, one can drink tea with fresh ginger, as fresh ginger has the effects of dispelling wind-cold, warming the stomach and stopping nausea, and clearing the lungs. If the cough is severe, it is advisable to seek assistance from a TCM practitioner, who can diagnose and treat through pulse-taking and tongue observation. Furthermore, it is important to avoid spicy, greasy, and other irritating foods in daily diet, eat more vegetables and fruits to maintain a balanced diet, and undergo symptomatic treatment and nourishment under the guidance of a physician.
