The best prescription for colds is useless and has no scientific basis. The treatment of colds mainly includes general treatment and medication. 1. General treatment: If the symptoms are mild, usually no treatment is needed. Pay attention to rest, quit smoking and limiting alcohol, drink more water, eat a light diet, and keep the hygiene of nasopharynx and oral cavity. 2. Medication: Antiviral drugs such as oseltamivir are needed for influenza. For common colds, symptomatic treatment is often used. If there is no bacterial infection, antibiotics are not suitable. If there is nasal congestion and congestion of the nasal mucosa, decongestants such as pseudoephedrine hydrochloride should be given. Cough suppressants such as dextromethorphan can be given for severe cough. For headache, fever and muscle pain, antipyretic drugs such as acetaminophen may be given. In addition, oral Chinese medicines can relieve cold symptoms, such as Banlangen Punch Granules, if appropriate. Colds must be treated scientifically under the guidance of a doctor, not blindly believe in prescriptions, medication should follow the doctor’s instructions.
