Colds are a common illness and the most common cold symptoms are a sore throat, cough and nasal mucus. For many people, the latter is often a relatively late onset symptom, so treating sore throats and coughs can be very useful in shortening the overall course of a cold. A common combination of effective medications used to treat colds and sore throats is vitamin C silver tablets, plus nux vomica tablets or triphala tablets (depending on the dose used) and Banlangen granules. If the condition is severe, it is best to take the medication under the guidance of a doctor with the correct medication list. Antibiotics such as amoxicillin or cephalosporin are commonly used antibacterial drugs. It is especially worth reminding that antibiotics are not recommended for patients with early sore throat without severe symptoms. If antibiotics are taken in excess, they can lead to bacterial resistance. In addition to specific medication for colds and sore throats, patients should also build up their own resistance. Patients should pay attention to their own exercise in general. The main thing to pay attention to is to eat less spicy, greasy and cold food, and to eat more fruits and vegetables. Drink more water, pay attention to rest, avoid bad stimulation, supplement vitamin C, etc. (The specific drug treatment mentioned in this article should be based on the expert interview.)
