Patient's question:
I started feeling sick more than ten days ago. Besides coughing, my face has been very red lately, and I feel it's an abnormal redness. Could you please tell me what might be causing this and what treatment I should follow?Doctor's answer:
A cold is caused by a relatively low immunity and resistance of the body, so the cold virus takes advantage of this vulnerability to enter the body. When the cold virus infiltrates the body, it can produce pyrogens, leading to a fever. This can manifest as redness in the face. In your case, only by reducing your own immunity and using antiviral medications to completely eliminate and expel the virus from the body can you gradually recover. Pay attention to drinking more water, eating a light diet, and getting more rest.
