Question
I have a weak constitution, and I get a cold with coughing as soon as the temperature drops. I often buy medicine from community pharmacies, but recently I heard on TV that frequent injections are not good for the body, and I have never taken any medicine before. I don’t know what kind of medicine works best. Hello, what medication is effective for colds and coughs?
Answer
Colds are generally treated with symptomatic therapy. If you experience coughing and expectoration, you can take oral medications to clear the lungs and cool the blood, such as Compound Licorice Tablets. If you have a fever but the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can implement physical cooling methods, such as warm water sponge baths. At the same time, drink plenty of water, eat more fruits and vegetables, pay attention to rest, ensure adequate sleep, avoid staying up late, and strengthen physical exercise to enhance your constitution.
