Question
The cough and cold have persisted for over a month without improvement, and medication at home has not helped. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
The patient’s symptoms may be related to a weak physique or respiratory tract infection caused by bacteria or viruses. It is recommended to visit the respiratory department of a regular Grade A+ hospital for a medical consultation, so that the doctor can identify the cause of the illness and provide appropriate treatment advice. At the same time, you can combine traditional Chinese medicine opsonize, pay attention to rest, drink plenty of warm water, avoid eating spicy, greasy foods, and keep warm. Although you should not catch a cold by blowing wind or getting chilled during a cold, also do not keep doors and windows closed to avoid poor indoor air circulation, which may lead to the proliferation of cold germs. In addition, wash your hands frequently and avoid crowded places to prevent cross-infection.
