For viral colds antibacterial drugs are ineffective, only when combined with bacterial infections, such as sinusitis, pneumonia, etc., it is necessary to use antibacterial drugs, generally commonly used in clinical cephalosporins. If it is just a viral cold, taking cephalosporin not only has no therapeutic effect, but will cause adverse reactions to the drug. In the clinic, viral colds are mainly caused by viral infections and can be divided into common cold and influenza: 1, common cold: rhinovirus is the most common pathogen of common cold, with nasal congestion, cough, headache, chills, fever, general malaise as the main features, can develop throughout the year, more common in winter and spring, especially in the alternation of seasons when the cold is easily induced. Cold is a self-limiting disease, which usually does not require special treatment, but only symptomatic treatment or no treatment, and can be cured by autoimmunity. At present, there is no specific antiviral drug for the treatment of common cold, and only symptomatic drugs are needed for medication. When the patient has fever, sore throat and body aches, antipyretic and analgesic drugs, such as acetaminophen, can be taken. For runny nose, runny eyes, sneezing and other symptoms, you can take anti-allergy drugs, such as chlorpheniramine maleate, etc.; 2. Influenza: Influenza is an acute respiratory infection caused by the influenza virus, influenza has more complications and is more serious in the clinic, and in the treatment process you need to take symptomatic drugs, that is, take anti-influenza virus drugs, such as oseltamivir.
