Question
How should one treat nasal congestion and persistent cough caused by a common cold with medication?
Answer
Nasal congestion and persistent cough caused by a common cold are usually related to upper respiratory infections and may require antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medications, as well as antihistamines for treatment. If oral medications are ineffective, intravenous therapy is recommended. For cases with phlegm, fresh bamboo decoction can be considered. Please use medications under the guidance of a local physician.
