Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, my best friend and I went to the mall. We ate a lot of things that caused stomach upset, including grilled meat, hot pot, and many spicy dishes. Yesterday, my throat started to flare up again, and it hurts a lot. When I went to bed this morning, my voice changed, and I also caught a cold. What should girls eat when they catch a cold?Doctor's answer:
The patient should avoid spicy and irritating foods recently. The diet should be based on light and simple foods, eating more fresh vegetables and fruits. Drink more warm water daily, sweat more, and urinate more. You can drink some chrysanthemum tea or honeysuckle water. In addition, the patient should ensure sufficient deep sleep daily and avoid overtime work. Engage in appropriate activities. If the condition worsens, please seek medical attention promptly.
