Colds and coughs need to be treated on a case-by-case basis. Colds are mainly categorized into common colds and influenza.
1. Common cold: For coughing caused by common cold, you can take cough suppressant dextromethorphan to clear foreign matter and phlegm in the respiratory tract and expectorant aminoglutethimide under the guidance of a doctor to promote phlegm expulsion and alleviate the symptom of coughing in common cold.
2. Influenza: Influenza requires timely antiviral treatment, usually under the guidance of a doctor to take oseltamivir, paramivir and other drugs to inhibit viral infection and then be given to cough expectorants, such as acetylcysteine, ambroxol and so on.
During the period of cold and cough, patients should drink plenty of warm water, and should also pay attention to regular work and rest to avoid aggravation of the condition. In addition, appropriate exercise to increase the body’s resistance will be more conducive to the recovery of cold and cough symptoms.
The drug should be used under the guidance of a physician, and during the period of taking the drug, special attention should be paid to vomiting, headache, gastrointestinal symptoms and other adverse reactions.
