NYC’s Leading Integrative Health Care Center
Cough and cold symptoms affect millions of people each year—but too often, the solutions offered are short-term: suppressants, decongestants, and antibiotics. At Patients Medical in New York City, we go beyond symptomatic care. Our integrative approach addresses your immune resilience, inflammation, gut health, and toxin load to help you prevent recurrent infections and recover more fully, naturally.
We don’t just treat the virus—we support you, the whole person.
Coughs and colds are often the result of viral infections such as the rhinovirus or coronavirus (not to be confused with COVID-19). While most people recover in a few days, some experience persistent or frequent symptoms due to weakened immunity or underlying imbalances.
From a functional medicine perspective, persistent or recurrent respiratory infections often signal deeper imbalances, including:
To uncover the true root causes of your chronic cough or cold, we may recommend:
✅ Comprehensive immune panel
✅ Food sensitivity and IgG/IgE allergy testing
✅ Gut microbiome and leaky gut analysis
✅ Viral load or chronic infection testing (EBV, CMV)
✅ Vitamin and mineral status (especially D, C, zinc, A)
✅ Mold and mycotoxin exposure testing
✅ Hormone and cortisol evaluation
