Question
What medication should I take for a cold with cough and phlegm?
Answer
A cold is a common respiratory disease in internal medicine, usually caused by factors like catching a chill or viral infection. Symptoms include coughing, phlegm, nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, and fever. If you have a cough with phlegm, in addition to taking antiviral and heat-clearing detoxification medications for treatment, you should also take oral lung-clearing and blood-cooling medications to achieve better treatment outcomes.
