Patient's question:
My child has had a cold for five days. I was thinking of going to a heated swimming pool to swim, but I'm wondering if it's okay?Doctor's answer:
Usually, after a child catches a cold, it is best to rest more and avoid swimming in a swimming pool. On the one hand, the water temperature may not be suitable, which could worsen the condition. On the other hand, swimming can cause excessive fatigue, more likely to worsen the condition or even lead to a fever. Therefore, after catching a cold, it is also important to rest more, take good care of your body, and pay special attention to drinking plenty of plain water.
