If it is influenza, we need to use antiviral drugs early on the basis of symptomatic treatment. Patients with common cold can drink more water, rest more, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, most patients can be self-cured. If the patient’s sneezing and runny nose symptoms are more serious, oral pseudoephedrine hydrochloride extended-release tablets can be taken. If there is a severe cough, oral dextromethorphan can be taken to stop coughing. If the patient has a fever and the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, oral ibuprofen granules can be taken for antipyretic treatment. Influenza generally need isolation treatment, within 48 hours of the onset of the disease, you can use antiviral therapy to inhibit viral replication, commonly used oseltamivir, paramivir and other drugs. Patients with large amount of phlegm that is not easy to cough up can use expectorants, commonly used aminoglutethimide and so on. If the symptoms of cold and flu are more serious, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital, and standardize the treatment with the help of doctors. The above medicines are for reference only, the specific dosage should follow the doctor’s instructions.
