Patient's question:
Yesterday it rained heavily and I forgot to bring an umbrella, so I ran home directly. When I arrived home, I was completely soaked. In the morning, I felt very cold and had a cold. I kept hiccuping and felt chills. What should I eat to recover quickly from the cold and chills?Doctor's answer:
Consider that the patient developed a cold due to catching rain yesterday, which caused a wind-cold. You can boil some ginger soup with brown sugar to drink, while also drinking more warm water and sweating more to aid in the recovery of the cold. It is also important to pay attention to preventing colds, rest more, and ensure sufficient deep sleep. The diet should be based on lightness, and you can also cook some ginger porridge to eat. On a daily basis, you can engage in appropriate physical activities to boost your immune system. If it doesn't improve or the condition worsens, please seek medical attention promptly.
