Patient's question:
Is it good to sweat profusely after taking medicine for a cold?Doctor's answer:
After catching a cold, sweating while taking cold medicine is a normal phenomenon. The mechanism of antipyretic drugs is often to help patients dissipate heat through sweating, so it is normal for excessive sweating to occur when taking antipyretics. Only sweating can achieve the effects of detoxification and cooling. However, on the basis of fever reduction, it is necessary to appropriately increase fluid intake to prevent dehydration in patients and encourage them to drink more water. In daily life, eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy and irritating foods, strictly prohibit smoking and drinking beer, reduce overtime work, exercise more, and lower your own resistance.
