    The length of the incubation period varies depending on the pathogen that is infected during a cold. The onset of the general cold is more acute, with dry throat, itchy throat or burning sensation in the early stage, and sneezing, nasal congestion, and watery nasal discharge at the same time or a few hours after the onset of the cold, which becomes mucous or purulent after 2 to 3 days. It can be accompanied by sore throat, sometimes hearing loss due to otopharyngitis, and can also cause tearing, dull taste, poor breathing, hoarseness, and a small amount of cough.

    The common cold usually has no fever or systemic symptoms, or only low-grade fever, malaise, mild chills, and headache. Examination reveals conjunctival hyperemia, nasal mucosal hyperemia, edema, and discharge, and mild pharyngeal hyperemia. If there are no complications, it can usually be cured in 4 to 10 days.

    First: There are many differences between colds, and in the case of the common cold, they are generally caused by viruses. The course of the disease is usually 5 to 7 days, and if there is a bacterial infection, the course of the disease may be prolonged, in which case antibiotics should be added, and the time of taking the drug should not be too short.

    Second: people with colds also need to pay attention to the fact that for those patients who have a basic cold and want to continue to take medicine to consolidate, the expert's point of view is that because the course of a cold is generally about 7 days, usually cold medicine can be used for 5 to 7 days, and antibiotics can be used for about 5 days.

    Third: patients also need to understand that the drug has also played a bactericidal role in the body, if you continue to take the medicine at this time, it is equivalent to increasing the dose of the drug, which will often kill the normal bacteria in the body, but will cause poison, like this to consolidate the effect of the practice is unscientific.
