Cold with nasal voice, in most cases, does not require special treatment. A cold can cause symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, sore throat, and coughing. These symptoms can lead to a nasal voice in patients, and this condition usually does not require special treatment. If the symptoms of runny nose, sneezing, and nasal congestion are particularly severe and affect the patient's daily life, some compound cold medicines can be used to alleviate the symptoms, such as compound cold medicines like Ammaminamide tablets. Additionally, for a heavy nasal voice due to a cold, it is also necessary to assess the patient's condition. If the patient has a lot of purulent nasal discharge and is accompanied by headaches, it is important to be alert to the possibility of sinusitis, which also needs to be treated. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)

Sore throat without cold symptoms

If it is just a simple sore throat without any other cold symptoms, it could possibly be due to an early stage cold, acute pharyngitis, acute laryngitis, acute tonsillitis, or acute epiglottitis. Some patients may also experience neurogenic pain in the throat area. Overall, there are many possible causes, and it's hard to determine based solely on symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended to visit an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist, who can perform an indirect laryngoscopy or a fiber optic laryngoscopy to clearly observe the specific condition and location of the disease within the throat. Additionally, a complete blood count test can be helpful in determining whether there is an acute bacterial or viral infection causing inflammation. If there is an acute infection causing inflammation, antibiotic treatment may be considered, along with regular follow-ups.

Gastrointestinal colds are caused by Coxsackie virus infection. Patients can eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement plant-based fiber and hydrate. Eating nutritious foods such as beef and mutton can help replenish energy and enhance resistance. Staple foods should be soft, such as rice soup, noodle soup, and vegetable soup. It is important to note that spicy and irritating foods should be avoided, and the consumption of strong tea, coffee, and alcohol should be minimized during the cold.

What should I do if the baby has a cold and a dry cough?

When a baby has a cold and a dry cough, the first step is to administer a cough suppressant, which can be a traditional Chinese medicine or medications like ambroxol. Additionally, nebulizer inhalation can be used, which also acts as a cough suppressant. Moreover, if a viral infection is suspected, it is appropriate to use some antiviral medications for treatment. However, since viral infections often last a long time and may be complicated by bacterial infections, antibiotics such as cephalosporins and penicillins in oral formulations can be added to treat the infection.

Can you take a bath with a cold?

Colds are a common ailment in our daily lives, so can we take a bath after catching a cold? This situation requires specific analysis. If the symptoms of the cold are mild, such as just having a slight nasal congestion or sneezing, it is okay to take a bath, but it is advised to avoid catching a chill while bathing. However, if the symptoms of the cold are more severe, such as significant fever and headache, and the body is relatively weak, it is best not to take a bath in such cases to prevent symptoms like fainting.
