Introduction

In general, novel coronavirus infection can be treated. After infection, ensure adequate rest and avoid excessive fatigue, which may affect recovery. Eat a light and easily digestible diet, consume more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, and supplement with high-quality protein to enhance physical strength. Drink plenty of warm water to promote metabolism, maintain indoor ventilation, and practice personal protection to prevent cross-infection.

Generally, novel coronavirus infection can be treated. The details are as follows:

Novel coronavirus infection is treatable, as most infected individuals experience mild symptoms and the body's immune system can gradually eliminate the virus. With supportive, symptom-based treatment, recovery can be accelerated. For symptoms such as fever and cough, antipyretic, analgesic, cough suppressants, and expectorants can help relieve discomfort. In severe cases, comprehensive interventions including respiratory support and antiviral medications can effectively control disease progression and reduce the risk of complications. The majority of patients fully recover after receiving standardized treatment.

After infection, ensure adequate rest and avoid excessive fatigue that may impair recovery. Maintain a light and easily digestible diet, consume more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, and include high-quality protein to strengthen physical condition. Drink plenty of warm water to promote metabolism, keep indoor areas well-ventilated, and practice personal protective measures to prevent cross-infection. Follow medical advice when taking medication, avoid using antibiotics indiscriminately, and seek prompt medical attention if persistent high fever, difficulty breathing, or other serious symptoms occur.

Is it safe to take Jin'gan Capsules and Compound Paracetamol and Pseudoephedrine Tablets at the same time?

In general, Jin'gan Capsules and Caffeine-Paracetamol-Pseudoephedrine Tablets are not recommended to be taken simultaneously, as their ingredients overlap; taking them together may lead to drug overdose and pose health risks. After developing a cold, choose a single symptomatic treatment medication based on your specific symptoms. Drink plenty of warm water and ensure adequate rest during medication. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly to determine the underlying cause and adjust the treatment plan under medical guidance.

Does whooping cough still require medication if there is still an occasional cough at night?

If pertussis has entered the recovery phase, and the patient has completed a full course of standardized treatment, with daytime coughing nearly resolved and only occasional mild coughing at night—without other symptoms such as fever, shortness of breath, or vomiting—medication may generally be discontinued after medical evaluation. At this stage, the mild cough is usually a normal response during the healing process of the respiratory mucosa, and the body can gradually recover on its own without continued reliance on medication.
