What causes colds in hot weather?

Summer heat cold (heat cold)

1. The temperature is very high and the humidity is relatively high in summer, so the moisture in the human body will also be heavier.

2. But in hot weather, people tend to like to stay cool and cannot do without air conditioners and fans every day.

3. After sweating after exercise, drink cold drinks or take a cold shower immediately.

4. It causes the dampness in the body to not be effectively discharged, making people more susceptible to illness and colds.

Summer heat cold

When the weather is very hot, the scorching heat can easily invade the human body, deplete the essence and energy, and cause a cold.

What is the role of sneezing when you have a cold?

Sneezing is usually one of the first signs of a cold. Wind-heat cold is caused by the invasion of wind-heat into the body, which causes physiological reactions such as sneezing and runny nose. This is to remove the heat in the body. Many people often use drugs to treat symptoms such as sneezing in the early stages of this cold to inhibit the body from expelling lung heat, but this does not fundamentally remove the lung heat in the body. Therefore, when you are in the early stages of a cold, do not take medication immediately. Sneezing is not necessarily a bad symptom, and taking medicine is not necessarily an effective way to treat a cold.

How long does the flu usually last?

Colds are self-healing diseases. If there is no bacterial infection and no other symptoms, you can usually recover within a week as long as you rest and drink plenty of water. Taking cold medicine during a cold is generally symptomatic treatment and has no major impact on the course of the cold itself. If it is influenza, it is a different matter and should be treated actively to prevent infection and other transmission.

It usually takes 7-10 days to recover. You only need to treat the symptoms or take oral antiviral drugs at the same time. Do not abuse antibiotics to treat colds. Traditional Chinese medicine not only has immune regulation effects, but also has good antiviral effects. If used correctly, it can not only achieve good therapeutic effects, but also achieve the effect of combining prevention and treatment and enhancing the body's immunity.
