Question
What is the best medication to take for coughing with phlegm when you have a cold? I’ve had colds before, but I’m not sure if it’s due to poor constitution or some other reason. Whenever I catch a cold, it seems to linger on, and no matter how many medications I take, the effect is not ideal. So, I’d like to ask here, what should I do in my situation?
Answer
If coughing with phlegm doesn’t respond well to medication, it might be related to your declining immunity. You need to enhance your nutrition and boost your resistance, as well as engage in more physical exercise. You can also take a cold bath with mugwort water to disperse the cold. Avoid catching a cold by staying warm, and don’t eat spicy or cold foods. Coughing with phlegm also requires consideration of intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment.
