There is generally no quick fix for a scratchy throat and a constant cough from a cold. However, patients can relieve their symptoms through general treatment and taking cough suppressant medication under the guidance of a doctor.
In the early stages of a cold, patients usually have a scratchy throat and a cough, so they can drink plenty of water and rest to promote the healing of the cold. The symptoms of itchy throat and cough will naturally improve as the cold gets better. If necessary, patients can also take some cough medication, such as Syrup of Acute Syphilis, Pei Pa Koa, etc., to relieve the symptoms of itchy throat and cough.
If the use of drugs can not alleviate the symptoms, it is recommended that patients go to the hospital for examination to see whether it has caused pneumonia, bronchitis and other diseases, and follow the doctor’s instructions to clarify the diagnosis in order to take appropriate treatment measures. Patients should pay attention to a light diet, avoid spicy, cold, irritating food.
