A series of clinical manifestations can occur after a cold, with respiratory symptoms as the main manifestation, of which cough is one of the common clinical symptoms. Due to the inflammatory stimulation of the throat, trachea and bronchi, it can be manifested as a cough, some of which is dry and some with some sputum. For the treatment of cough, first of all, one should actively treat the cold and control the disease from the underlying etiology by taking oral cough and phlegm relieving drugs, such as Mucosolvan tablets, acute syrup, strong loquat, compound licorice oral solution, etc. In addition, if conditions allow, acupuncture or acupressure can be used to promote recovery from cough. If the airway tension caused by the cold is high and the inflammation is obvious, anti-inflammatory treatment with ketotifen can be used if necessary, which can effectively improve the symptoms. After recovery from the cold, the symptoms of coughing will also gradually reduce and disappear.
