No cold symptoms, but persistent phlegm in the throat—treated with medication. Under a physician’s guidance, patients may take traditional Chinese patent medicines that clear the throat and relieve sore throat, such as Houyanqing Oral Liquid, Pudilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid, and Jinsheng Liyan Tablets. Additionally, expectorant and mucolytic agents—such as Eucalyptus-Citrus Enteric-Coated Soft Capsules and Ambroxol Hydrochloride Tablets—may be used.
