What to do if you have a cold and fever? Treatment methods for cold and fever

Although the temperature is higher in summer, it is also the peak season for colds. In summer, people are in low-temperature air-conditioned rooms for a long time, or they are exposed to fans for a long time, which makes it particularly easy to catch a cold and have a fever. When you catch a cold and have a fever, you first need to cool down your body to avoid causing a bigger disease.

1: It is always correct to drink more boiled water when you have a cold or fever, regardless of the season, whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter. If the cold or fever is accompanied by heavy sweating, you also need to drink boiled water with salt to replenish the water in the body, so as to prevent the cold or fever from causing electrolyte imbalance in the body.

3: Warm water bath: Use a towel soaked in warm water to wash the patient's entire body. Keep warm while wiping. Stop immediately if there is chills, pulse or breathing changes.

Therefore, in the summer, if you have a cold and fever caused by air conditioning, electric fans, or not covering yourself with a blanket at night, you can soak your feet in water boiled with ginger and drink a cup of hot ginger tea appropriately. This can quickly clear the cold and treat the cold and fever.
