After developing a sore throat accompanied by cough, patients may, under the guidance of a physician, take medications such as licorice compound syrup, fresh bamboo juice, antiviral oral liquid, Shufeng Jiedu capsules, or Xigua Shuang lozenges to help alleviate symptoms. Additionally, patients should drink plenty of water and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy or irritating foods that could exacerbate symptoms.
