Question date:2020-12-28
Patient information:Age: 19 years old Gender: Male
Question analysis: For a cold, it is not easy to distinguish whether the symptoms are viral or bacterial in the early stages, and a preliminary diagnosis can be made only after checking the blood routine. There are many specific tests, such as A stream and B stream C-reactive protein. Even so, it is impossible to be 100% sure which microbial infection is caused.
Guidelines: Because the cold is a self-limiting disease, the treatment is mainly based on symptomatic treatment. If you have nasal congestion, runny nose and other symptoms, you can take Gankang and other drugs for treatment. If you have high fever and muscle soreness, it is recommended to take some Chinese medicines, such as Lianhua Qingwen Capsules.
