Patient's question:
The weather is cold, the blanket I cover with at night is too thin, I caught a cold, it's very serious, with a fever of 38.5 degrees, muscle aches all over my body, feeling very tired and lacking any strength. Hello, why does the cold cause muscle pain?Doctor's answer:
The flu can cause muscle pain to reappear because it is a symptom that occurs after the flu. The reason is that the flu disrupts electrolyte balance in the body, especially calcium and potassium, which interferes with muscle contraction, leading to a feeling of soreness.Prevent exposure to cold, rain, or excessive fatigue; avoid contact with flu patients and prevent dirty hands from touching the mouth, eyes, or nose. Wear a mask during respiratory infections to prevent entering and exiting crowded public places.
