Question

My wife is a frequent sufferer of illnesses, especially when the weather turns cold. She constantly catches various diseases. Colds and coughs are common for her. Since last week, she’s had another cold, with a bit of coughing as well. It’s not better yet this week. This morning after she got up, she mentioned feeling dizzy. How do you deal with a cold, cough, and dizziness?

Answer

If the dizziness and cough are due to upper respiratory tract infections, the first step is to ensure the patient gets enough rest and maintains a positive attitude. Next, in terms of diet, the patient should be advised to eat a light diet and ensure intake of high-protein and high-calorie foods. Lastly, many cold remedies can be used to reduce the patient’s catarrhal symptoms, such as Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid and Gao Lian Oral Liquid. Actively participating in physical exercise, regulating physical and mental health, and maintaining personal hygiene are also recommended.
