Question
I have been experiencing cough symptoms for three months and would like to know how to manage them.
Answer
Cough is one of the main symptoms of respiratory system diseases and can be caused by a variety of factors, including acute pharyngitis, bronchitis, chronic bronchitis, and tuberculosis. Mild coughs usually do not require special treatment and can be relieved by adequate rest and increased fluid intake. For long-term chronic coughs, it is recommended to undergo blood tests and lung X-rays to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine such as glycyrrhizin preparations can be used to assist in treatment.
