What should I do if I catch a cold during the confinement period?

During the confinement period, women's immunity is relatively poor. If not properly adjusted, they are prone to being attacked by wind and cold, causing a cold. At this time, timely adjustment is necessary to avoid causing greater harm. If you are breastfeeding, try not to take medicine at this time. If the symptoms are more serious, you can temporarily stop breastfeeding and then use medication for treatment. You should drink more water and get enough rest.

When your throat starts to itch and hurt at the beginning of a cold, immediately gargle and rinse your mouth and throat with concentrated salt water every 10 minutes. It will be effective after more than 10 times.

Drinking chicken soup can relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose during a cold, and it is also effective in clearing respiratory viruses. Drinking chicken soup regularly can enhance the body's natural resistance and prevent the occurrence of colds.

Use a metal spoon to warm it in boiling water (not to the extent that it does not burn your hands), then place it on the "cold-curing point" on the surface of your palm and massage. If there is any abnormality in any part, strengthen the massage there. After a short heat massage, stimulate the area with a spoon soaked in cold water. For those with mild colds or coughs, stimulate 5-10 times using the above method. The cold-treating point on the palm is located between the thumb and index finger of the left hand (near the base of the thumb) and on the palm surface below the second joint of the right thumb.

Pour hot water at about 42℃ into a thermos cup. The person with a cold should put his mouth and nose into the cup and continuously inhale the hot steam, three times a day.

If you have a cough, you can beat an egg, add a small amount of white sugar and ginger juice, and take it 2-3 times with half a cup of boiling water to stop the cough.

When you first catch a cold and start to feel itchy nose and throat, do the following exercises 2-3 times and you will be cured. The method is: stand upright with your feet slightly apart, straighten your neck, lift your head as high as possible, open your eyes wide, stick out your tongue as long as possible, straighten all ten fingers of both hands, and then exert force from the top of your head to your hands and toes until your whole body trembles and makes a continuous "ah" sound. Repeat 2-3 times.
