Professor Wang, an expert in the Department of Respiratory Medicine at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, pointed out in a recent health live broadcast: "Coughs in winter are mostly related to dryness and cold evils. When choosing drugs, it is necessary to differentiate and treat them. People with a lot of phlegm should focus on reducing phlegm, and those with dry cough should focus on moisturizing the lungs. Do not stop coughing at the first sight."
The "Winter Cough Medication Guide" issued by the Department of Pharmacy of Peking Union Medical College Hospital emphasizes: "Suppressing the cough is only a symptomatic treatment, and finding the cause is the key. Especially for long-term cough, blood in sputum, accompanied by fever, etc., you must seek medical examination in time."
