Colds, itchy throats and coughs are mostly caused by pharyngeal inflammation caused by colds or bronchitis. Colds are mostly caused by virus infection. You can take some Chinese patent medicines for clearing away heat and toxic materials, such as Pudilan oral liquid or Qin Lan oral liquid, pharynx buccal tablets, etc., to relieve the symptoms of throat discomfort, thus relieving cough symptoms. Increased airway reactivity after a cold can also cause dry cough or a small amount of white sputum. In this case, compound methoxyphenamine capsules can be taken to reduce airway responsiveness and relieve cough.

If cough is accompanied by more expectoration, the possibility of bacterial infection should be considered. It is suggested to improve the routine blood examination to observe whether white blood cells and neutrophils are elevated. According to the results, we should choose reasonable antibacterial drugs, such as cephalosporin or amoxicillin. If the symptoms persist, it is suggested that you can go to the hospital for a chest X-ray to rule out lower respiratory tract infection. At the same time, you need to drink more water, pay attention to rest, avoid catching a cold, eat less spicy food, and avoid contact with lampblack and pungent smell, so as not to aggravate your cough.
