Dr. Jiang Weimin
It could be an itchy throat and cough caused by influenza or allergies. First, more serious conditions such as pneumonia or bronchitis should be ruled out. Secondly, exposure to cold may also be a contributing factor. It is recommended to exercise regularly, eat more fruits and vegetables, and reduce intake of greasy foods and seafood. Maintain adequate indoor humidity, drink plenty of water, balance work and rest appropriately, ensure timely and proper rest, supplement vitamins moderately, stay focused, and participate in beneficial physical activities. Regularly ventilate indoor spaces, maintain suitable indoor temperature and humidity, avoid crowded places, and minimize contact with smokers. If the above measures do not yield improvement, consult a doctor, follow medical advice for medication, and gradually restore health.
