For colds accompanied by coughing and phlegm, it is important to stay warm and drink moderate amounts of warm water, which may help alleviate symptoms. If symptoms do not improve, consult a physician for guidance on appropriate cold medications—such as Paracetamol, Artificial Cow-bezoar, and Chlorphenamine Maleate Capsules. For severe coughing, oral administration of Feining Granules may also be considered. Engaging in appropriate physical exercise can help strengthen your overall constitution.
